Injuries might be the only thing that could slow the Toronto Raptors right now. After missing only 11 games during his five-season career, USC product DeMar DeRozan tore his left adductor longus tendon in the team's 102-106 loss to the Dallas Mavericks last night. As of right now, there is no estimate of when he could return, but Basketball Insiders Editor Alex Kennedy pointed out that this is the same injury that kept Danny Amendola out four weeks.

Lou Williams, who Toronto acquired in the offseason, has been red hot as of late and will need to take on an even bigger load. Other NBA players have already heard the news and shown concern on Twitter:
