DeMar DeRozan’s slated return had Toronto Raptors fans optimistic despite losing 3 games in a row. Well, it appears that we will have to wait a little while longer for the Raptors star wingman to take the court again.
DeMar says he won't play tomorrow night; says he wants a few more practices before he jumps back in … Both for him and team.

DeMar says he's 100% but wants 7 solid practices under him before returning … That would put his first game back vs. Philly next Wed.

To be quite honest, I don’t blame the guy. If he comes in rusty it won’t be good for the team at all. Let him get those intense practices in and get brought back to game speed. The Raps shouldn’t worry too much as their next game against a truly tough team doesn’t occur until January 16th vs the scorching Atlanta Hawks.
