The Raptors are back on Canadian soil after a 13-day journey through Italy and Spain, and by all accounts it was a successful trip for the Raps.
The only ‘bad news’ for Toronto is the status of star forward Chris Bosh. Bosh tweaked his left knee last week and has been sidelined for just under a week. The team continues to say that Bosh’s injury is not that serious but he’ll have another MRI now that he’s back in T.O. just to confirm there’s nothing else going on.
If I were a betting man I’d say CB4 won’t suit up against Zalgiris Kaunus on Wednesday.
Speaking of Zalgiris, a couple of quick tidbits on that club that some of you might not know:
- they are the defending Lithuanian League Champion
- they are owned by former NBA’er Arvydas Sabonis
- Raptors forward Jorge Garbajosa was teammates with current Zalgiris guard Marcus Brown in 2005-06 when the duo suited-up for Unicaja of the Spanish League.
The Raptors are off today but they’re expected to be back on the floor - continuing camp - on Sunday afternoon.
You’ll hear from me again … soon.
