The Toronto Raptors will be without head coach Sam Mitchell for tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs and Wednesday's contest against the New Jersey Nets.
Mitchell left for Atlanta this morning upon learning of the death of his father-in-law. Raptors assistant coach Mike Evans will assume head coaching duties for tonight's game, while Jay Triano will have responsibility for the Nets game.
It's the first game Mitchell has missed in four seasons in Toronto.
