Injuries sustained during meaningless games. Why is preseason so long?
The Toronto Raptors will be shorthanded in tonight’s tilt against the Sacramento Kings, as both Terrence Ross (knee, ankle) and Patrick Patterson (hand) will sit out. The news comes to us courtesy of TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.
In addition to the sore knee, sounds like right ankle is also bothering Ross. Casey says MRI came back negative, could play if game counted

Terrence Ross (knee) & Patrick Patterson (hand) will both be held out of tonight's game, per @Paul__Jones. Neither injury sounds serious

Ross injured himself in the closing minutes of the Raptors’ first preseason game (GIF here). Without Patterson and Ross in the lineup, expect Tyler Hansbrough to continue filling the role of floor-spacer.
