Some injuries put more than just basketball into perspective for a professional athlete.
Patrick McCaw, the free-agent guard who officially signed with the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night, knows that better than most.
The 23-year-old former Golden State Warrior suffered a particularly scary bone bruise when he was undercut by Vince Carter in a game against the Sacramento Kings last April. McCaw landed hard on his back and was stretchered off the court.
