Rudy Gay Not in Favor of Being Shut Down For the Remainder of Season

This time of year many players, particularly from those on teams not going to the playoffs, are shut down for the rest of the season due to injury. Teams/coaches figure it’s no use in prolonging this guy’s injury.

However, it’s somewhat refreshing when a player doesn’t want to get a jumpstart on his summer vacation. Rudy Gay of the Raptors is battling a sore back but is refusing to be shut down. Glad to hear that, Rudy.

Rudy went through practice (Monday), what he could,’ head coach Dwane Casey said, ‘and his back is loosening up so there is going to be no talk about shutting him down. He will be a day-to-day thing and he’s going to see how his back responds to therapy, working hard to keep it loose. He wants to continue to play and we are going to allow him to.’
