Raptors might shut down Gay for season

Rudy Gay missed his third game on Saturday night because of back problems. And now his season, which started with the Memphis Grizzlies could be over as the Toronto Raptors are considering shutting Gay down.

Gay received therapy on Saturday and depending on how he responds could determine if Gay's season is over, according to Raptors coach Dwane Casey.

"I would say that it's something that will be talked about sooner rather than later," Casey told ESPN.com.

Since being traded to Toronto in January, Gay has averaged 20 points, six rebounds and three assists per game.
