CLEVELAND (AP) -The Toronto Raptors will be without All-Star forward Chris Bosh for at least one game after he had facial bones broken in a freakish on-court accident.
A team spokesman said Bosh will miss Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Celtics. The Raptors, who have a one-game lead over Chicago for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, are expected to provide an update on Bosh later in the day.
Bosh was hospitalized overnight and remains in Cleveland, spokesman Jim LaBumbard said in an e-mail. It’s not yet known if he is still in the hospital or how much time Bosh will miss.
Toronto’s leading scorer sustained a “maxilla and nasal fracture to the right side of his face” when he was accidentally struck by the elbow of Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamsion in the opening minutes of Tuesday night’s 113-101 loss to Cleveland.
tely dropped to the floor and grabbed his head in anguish as blood streamed from his face. He was taken to the Cleveland Clinic, where a CT scan revealed the fractures.
The Raptors have five games left. After hosting the Celtics, they’ll play at Atlanta on Friday before hosting the Bulls on Sunday. They’ll play at Detroit on Monday before ending the regular season with a home game against the New York Knicks.
