Terrence Ross underwent surgery to remove bone spurs and loose bodies from his left ankle.

The surgery was performed in Van Nuys, California, but Ross will conduct his rehabilitation in Toronto.

No timetable has been set for Ross' return to basketball activities.

Ross averaged 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 25.3 minutes in a career-best 82 games this past season.

Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has picked John Cassaday to become Tim Leiweke's successor as president and CEO.

There will be final discussions to approve Cassady next week.

Larry Tanenbaum, MLSE’s chairman, said, “We’re close,” when asked if the search was nearing its end.

Cassaday, who recently retired as president and CEO of Corus Entertainment, has long been rumored the likely choice to succeed Leiweke.

The Toronto Raptors have removed Bill Bayno and Tom Sterner from Dwane Casey's coaching staff, according to sources.

Casey has been expected to return as the Raptors' head coach.

Dwane Casey will return next season as head coach of the Toronto Raptors.

Masai Ujiri had been waiting on evaluating the team before making a decision on Casey.

The Raptors will likely make changes to Casey's assistant coaching staff.

Masai Ujiri has yet to make a decision on Dwane Casey's tenure as head coach of the Toronto Raptors.

"I'm still studying it, we're still gathering all the information," Ujiri told Sportsnet 590 The FAN in regards to whether a decision has been made on Casey's future.

Approximately 20 minutes later, Ujiri told competing station TSN 1050 the same thing.

"We're still going to go through the process of looking at the things we did well and the things we didn't do so well," he said. "When that happens, we will make a decision and move forward."

Casey has two years and $8 million remaining on his contract.

Ujiri said taking a step backwards may be necessary for the Raptors.

"That's an option," Ujiri told TSN. "Everything we are going to do is going to be what's good for this organization and competing for a championship in the future."
