Spain's Calderon likely to miss gold-medal game, Raptors GM says

BEIJING -- Spanish guard Jose Calderon is expected to miss Sunday's gold-medal game against the United States.

That was the word coming late Saturday night from Toronto Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo, who discussed the matter with members of the Spanish basketball federation.

A preliminary MRI exam revealed that Calderon has a slight tear of the adductor muscle in his right thigh, an injury that could get worse if he tries to play. The recovery time for such an injury is usually seven-10 days, but a larger tear could sideline Calderon past the start of NBA training camps in late September.

"We're all on the same page on this," Colangelo told ESPN.com, saying Calderon is "definitely out."
