Terrence Ross was scratched from last night’s game against the OKC Thunder due to an irksome injury suffered in practice on Tuesday. [20-second timeout: While missing a game because of a sprained right index finger seems rather feeble, I wouldn’t be too quick to condemn. Years ago, Joe Garagiola, a much better baseball broadcaster than catcher, reminded his audience that “to a knuckleball pitcher, a hangnail on his throwing hand is a serious injury.” A finger injury to TRoss’s left hand might be gauzed over, but he’s a right-handed shooter. Best to sit out.]
He’s the latest Toronto Raptor to be unable to dress for battle.
