    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One of the Raptors' young prospects is dealing with a serious injury.

    Point guard Roko Ukic, who was selected by the Raptors in the second round of the 2005 draft (41st overall) will be sidelined for a month due to a problem with one of his kidneys.

    The Croatian star, who plays for Tau Ceramica in the Spanish elite league, was injured during a game at home against Pamesa Valencia on Nov. 25.

    It was initially thought that he had suffered a bruised kidney, but further analysis has revealed a more serious problem than the initially expected.

    Ukic was supposed to miss practices for 10 days, but is still in hospital.

    It has been recommended that he avoid playing basketball for at least a month. </div>
