Mitchell wants Bosh to put health first
By STEVE BUFFERY, SUN MEDIA
Chris Bosh can gamble all he wants in Las Vegas this summer, as long as he doesn't take bets with his health.
That was the message from Raptors coach Sam Mitchell yesterday. Mitchell said he does not want his all-star forward playing for Team USA at the FIBA Americas championships in Vegas this August if his left heel is sore, even if Bosh already has committed to the national team.
HONOUR
"Look, I would never tell a guy not to play for his country, that's a huge honour," said Mitchell, who acted as draw master yesterday for the $500,000 Labatt Woodbine Oaks on Sunday. "But you also have to be smart about it."
The Raptors were not impressed last fall when Bosh showed up at training camp with a case of plantar fasciitis in his left heel after playing for the American team at the world championship in Japan. They were even less thrilled that the problem plagued him for most of the season.
