Calderon Injured at Eurobasket!!

[Kuh]

Calderon was injured at Eurobasket, in Spain's quarterfinal win. From the photo it looks like his left hamstring. Details anyone?

[Jaworski]

his hamstring injury seems to keep recurring. This is sad and problematic as I've always thought he had potential to be half of Nash. I would however think that Calderon is probably the best passing PG in Raptors history.

Hrmm .. well looks like Bayless gets the Green Light!
Which I'm not entirely upset about I guess.

Poor Jose. Looks like a pretty solid ow-y.

If it limits his minutes to 15-20 per game and lets Bayless start with around 30 minutes per game (probably put them out together for short stretches) I'm fine with it.

This is why I have advocated trading him for a long time. It is nothing personal but between contract, injury history, and insistence on representing Spain every year, it is time to cut the cord.

Surprise surprise

time for him to go these injuries are becoming a problem for this team.

The insurance company must be going "Oh Nooooh"!!

Calderon & His Hammy

.
As I've said before, his hamstring continues to worry me. This doesn't help.

But while I do believe JC could eventually become a great back-up for the Raptors, I still don't believe his eventual replacement at the Starting spot will be Bayless.

It's too bad, but does this really have any long terms effect on the team? First of all, if the season starts before the New Year, I'll be shocked. Secondly, Calderon actually has a positive effect when he's on the court, and in a season where we want a high pick, him playing less might not be such a bad thing.

As for the hamstring, I think the guy needs to start getting into yoga, or something.

Is Bruce Bowen mentoring this guy or what?

I think he was going to play less regardless. How long do you figure Dwayne Casey was going to tolerate pylon caliber defense?
