Wizards: F Caron Butler (left hip flexor strain) did not play and may not play tonight at Toronto. He is day-to-day. G Gilbert Arenas (left knee) and C Etan Thomas (heart surgery) remain out. Arenas believes he can return to action sometime after the all-star break (Feb. 14-18). Thomas has not yet been cleared to practice but said he plans to return as soon as doctors clear him for contact work.
Raptors: G T.J. Ford is out indefinitely (head and neck injury). Since the introduction of the three-point line during the 1979-80 season, only seven teams have shot better than 40 percent for the season. Toronto entered last night's game shooting 41.8 percent from three-point range.
