Fantasy Analysis
In March, the Raptors sued the Spanish federation for the non-payment of a $1 million insurance policy taken out on Garbajosa, who played in last year's European championship while still recovering from a leg injury. Garbajosa, who helped Spain to a gold medal at the 2006 world championship, broke his left ankle in fall during a Raptors game in March 2007. The Raptors believe he was rushed back into action for the European championship and played just seven games this season before undergoing surgery again on the left leg December.
