| Chris Bosh, F, Toronto Raptors | Monday 10/15, 10:24 AM CT |
|
| Chris Bosh continues to nurse a sore left knee. As a result, he probably will skip one or both of the Raptors' preseason games this week, according to the Toronto Star. Bosh and the Raptors are downplaying the injury, while hoping a little preseason rest will do the trick. Nonetheless, for a player you'll have to take in the first or second round this year, that he's still bothered by last year's sore knee is a legitimate concern. |
