    Chris Bosh does all the things an NBA player does these days. Except play basketball, that is.</p>

    He works out, gets up his shots, gets his weight-lifting sessions in and watches all the video his coaches can provide for him, but when it comes time to get on the court and bang, run and really play, he's a spectator.</p>

    Mindful of Bosh's still-sore left knee and a long, arduous regular season that doesn't begin for more than a week, the Raptors are nursing along their all-star power forward in sporting baby steps rather than giant leaps.</p>

    "He's just been working out," coach Sam Mitchell said yesterday. "We're going to let him do a little bit more every day. He went pretty hard (yesterday) with non-contact stuff and we're going to see how the knee did."</p>

    The plan is to gradually increase Bosh's workload this week, hoping there is no swelling or pain and that he's able to take part in a full-contact scrimmage on Wednesday and the final exhibition games at home on Thursday and Friday.</p>

    It's hardly optimal preparation for a player who thrives on a heavy practice workload.</div></p>

    Where is the line between bad luck and injury prone?</p>

    Bosh seems to get banged up every preseason.</p>
