Raptors' coach Mitchell to miss two games
Sam Mitchell will not be with the Raptors until after the NBA All-Star break, having returned to his Atlanta home Monday to be with his family after the death of his father-in-law, the team announced.
Mitchell will return to his head coaching duties for the Feb. 23 game against the Orlando Magic, giving him more than a week to spend with his family. Assistant Mike Evans will be the acting head coach for Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs while Jay Triano will fill that role on Wednesday against the New Jersey Nets.
