Fear not, weary Raptors fans. Even with Dwane Casey’s All-Star coaching job in jeopardy following the Raptors’ recent death spiral, the franchise will be represented on the sidelines in New Orleans two-plus weeks from now. Raptors 905 boss man Jerry Stackhouse has been named as the head coach of the D-League’s Eastern Conference All-Stars.
