EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Jason Kidd sat out the New Jersey Nets' game with the Toronto Raptors on Saturday with a sore left knee.

The swelling that has prevented Kidd from practicing the last three days has gone down, but Nets coach Byron Scott opted to give Kidd the day as a precautionary measure.

Kidd was not available for comment before the game.

Zoran Planinic started at point guard for Kidd, who now has missed three games in two-plus seasons in New Jersey.

The two-time defending Eastern Conference champion Nets won't play again until Tuesday, so the rest will give Kidd a full week off.
