Raptors’ Chris Bosh suffers broken bone in his face during loss to Cavaliers

CLEVELAND — All-Star forward Chris Bosh was flattened by an inadvertent elbow from Cleveland’s Antawn Jamison in the first quarter and suffered a broken bone in his face Tuesday night as the Toronto Raptors, battling Chicago for the final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference, were beaten, 113-101, by the Cavaliers, who have won 11 straight at home.

The Raptors, one game ahead of the Bulls for No. 8 in the East, said tests showed Bosh had suffered a “maxilla and nasal fracture to the right side of his face.” It wasn’t known when Bosh, who is eligible for free agency this summer, will rejoin the team or if he’ll be able to play once he returns.
