The Score in Toronto is reporting that Lenny Wilkens and the Toronto Raptors have agreed that he will not return to the team as head coach next season.

The following headline was read by some of the posters on our Toronto Raptors board.

 "Wilkens and management sign mutual agreement that Wilkens will not coach team next season."

 Right now, the details are a bit sketchy but apparently, Wilkens will receive the entire $5 million remaining on his contract.

  However, it is known that the Raptor players and Wilkens are scheduled to meet with the media today at 12:30 EST. Raptors GM Glen Grunwald will then address them at 3:30 EST.

  The announcement of the agreement could come at that time.

  It has been a disappointing season for Wilkens and the Raptors.

   Not only did they have the third-worst record in the NBA, but were also the most banged up team in NBA history.

The 2002-03 Raptors broke the NBA?s all-time record for man games lost to injury with 519. That broke the record set by the 1996-97 Boston Celtics, who had 480.
 
It was so bad that they never dressed a full roster of 12 in any game for the entire season.

If anyone thought a change wasn't coming, it became apparent two nights ago when Grunwald said the following message to the crowd after Toronto's loss in their final home game of the season to Miami.

"All of us in the Raptors organization from the players, coaches, managers and ownership share in your disappointment. We will not stand for this any longer."
