TorontoSun.com – Basketball – Rasho back in lineup
In other injury news, starting point guard T.J. Ford, who left the game on Nov. 20 in Dallas after suffering an arm stinger, has started practising and is hopeful to play either tomorrow against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the ACC or on Saturday in Washington against the Wizards.
“It’s getting better and better. I have my strength back. (Yesterday) I was able to shoot and dribble a little bit. So I feel a lot better than I did the other day,” Ford said. “We’ll see how it goes (today) at practice.”
Ford has been impressed with the way his backup, Jose Calderon, has stepped up.
“He is playing 40 minutes a game. I’ve never done that, so I don’t even know how that feels,” Ford said.
Calderon has played more than 40 minutes in the past three games, setting careers highs for assists in each of his last two games.
