    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Regular readers of the ESPN.com NBA Power Rankings know that the committee (of one) can't resist frequent mentions of Sow, a project forward with the Raps and a fellow Cal State Fullerton alumnus.

    But this is strictly a sad story, with Sow forced to undergo surgery to repair a fractured vertebrae after his neck struck a teammate's leg as he fell during a collision in practice before Toronto's summer opener in Vegas.

    Sow could miss all of next season as a result and is said to be facing a comeback similar to new teammate T.J. Ford's.</div>

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


    hope he makes a full recovery and gets back into the NBA game quickly. He's got great hustle, great length and he's a rebounding/shot blocking presense we really really REALLY could use

    This was gonna be his year....frustrating for him I'm sure. Right now I'm just glad for him that it wasn't worse. As for the Raps, it doesn't really affect us so much except from a development point of view. I dont' think he was gonna get a lot of minutes etc. Yes he brought energy and some boards but he was still raw and foul prone and wouldn't get much PT, esp now with Garbajosa coming on board who is more of what the Raps probably envision Sow turning into as a player.

    That sucks, I'm not a fan of the Raptors, but I liked Sow, I wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

    good username you have
    i like pittsnoggle despite him having an ultra disappointing summer league

    anyways, it looks like it will take at least a year for sow to recover/return to game form

    i would be surprised if he get a guaranteed contract next year

    heheh, thanks, and that's too bad about the contract, I guess he'll have to work harder than he did in the first place.
