Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon will miss his second straight game Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Calderon also did not play in Friday's game as a precautionary reason to allow his stitched-up eye to heal.
He was hurt in Wednesday's loss to New Jersey when he was elbowed in the face.
Calderon is averaging 10.5 points and 8.8 assists this season.

The Toronto Blue may want to look at obtaining DeMar DeRozan to help with their problems closing games.
All kidding aside, Dwane Casey has talked all season about developing DeRozan into a late-game closer for the Toronto Raptors and tonight he came through with four huge free throws in the last minute of the game to ice a win against the Boston Celtics.
“I just told him those...

I remember when Raptors game threads were had over a hundred pages each. Now, it's more like in the teens. It was hilarious that they were actually cheering for the Celtics because a win would be a set back to their ping pong ball total. Comments after losses usually aren't much fun but these are hilarious as the Raptor fans cheer for the Celtics and get mad when they lose...

DeMar DeRozan scored 13 of his 22 points in the third quarter and made four pivotal free throws down the stretch as the short-handed Toronto Raptors held off the Boston Celtics 84-79 Friday night.
DeRozan was a perfect 13-for-13 from the line as the Raptors ended a four-game losing skid despite being without two of their top players. Big man Andrea Bargnani was shut down for the...

The Celtics fall to the lowly Raptors tonight, 84-79 in Toronto. An extremely frustrating loss. The C's were up by 13 points about halfway through the 2nd after a Ryan Hollins free-throw made it 30-17. Then they virtually disappeared. They did what we've seen them do in past games like this-made a "too little, too late" run in the...
