The Wolves and Raptors are underway here at Air Canada Centre.

Jose Calderon was a pre-game scratch at point guard because of an injured hip.

Jarrett Jack started in his place for the Raptors at point guard, but, as of now, he hasn't tried tying his shoes while he has possession of the ball, as he did recently in a blowout victory over Chicago.

The Wolves are playing without reserve forward Nathan Jawai, who stayed home in Minnesota Monday because he was too ill to travel.

Both teams are wearing throwback jerseys tonight: The Wolves those 1989-90 inaugural unis, the Raptors the 1940s Toronto Huskies uniform.

The only thing missing here tonight is legendary Huskies broadcaster Bill Beek.
