The worst thing that could happen for the Toronto Raptors in the Olympics has happened. Jose Calderon was injured with what is being called at this point a groin strain. His status going forward in the Olympics is up in the air. It would be clear the Toronto Raptors would not want to see Calderon push through this injury with the NBA Season just about 2 months away. This info on Calderon came from Jay Triano during the coverage of U.S vs Australia basketball game in which the Raptors Assisitant Coach has been doing commentary for CBC.
Here is a link to story in Globe and Mail:
Jorge Garbajosa played in euro basket last summer and made an pre exsisting injury worse which ultimately lead to surgry for him and ended his time with the Raptors.
Bad news for Buck Fans as well as Andrew Bogut turned an ankle and did not return in the game going on between the United States and Australia.
