Agent Aaron Goodwin told ESPN.com that Damon Stoudamire, who will clear waivers and become a free agent Thursday at 10 p.m. ET after his buyout from the Grizzlies, has committed to join the Spurs after also considering the Suns and the Raptors, with whom Stoudamire won Rookie of the Year honors in the 1995-96 season.

The Toronto Raptors may get a boost soon with T.J. Ford close to returning to practice, the Associated Press is reporting.  However, there is no timetable for his return to the court.

Ford has missed 22 games, not playing since Atlanta rookie Al Horford knocked him to the ground in a Dec. 11 game at Atlanta.

Sources tell Chris Sheridan of ESPN.com that the Boston Celtics are no longer appearing like a strong suitor for Damon Stoudamire.

Stoudamire hopes to sign with a club after he clears waivers at 6:00 PM EST on Wednesday.

The Raptors, Spurs and Suns are the interested teams, according to sources who spoke with Sheridan.

Caron Butler missed Washington's 108-104 overtime victory at home against the Raptors on Tuesday with what the team is calling a hip flexor injury and then did not travel with the team to Toronto, the Associated Press is reporting.

Butler, who again is having an All-Star type season, was hurt when he fell to the floor during an overtime loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

Damon Stoudamire's buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies is finally complete, and a new team has entered the equation.

It was long believed that Boston was the favorite to add 'Mighty Mouse', with Phoenix and Toronto also in the running, but now ESPN is reporting that San Antonio is also showing interest in the 12 year vet.

Buyout talks dragged through the day Monday before being finalized early in the evening, and Stoudamire now cannot officially be waived until 10 a.m. EST Tuesday.

"I'm keeping it all suspenseful," Stoudamire said Monday evening when reached on his cell phone. "I'm trying to get it all figured out, trying to see what's best for myself and my family."

On tonight's RealGM Hoops Show (airing at 9:00 PM EST), Sacha, Brendon, and Aaron will react to the All-Star game rosters. Who got snubbed, and who didn't deserve to make it?

Kevin Broom from RealGM talks about his article that questions whether the Wizards are better without Gilbert Arenas. Do teams with shoot-first point guards succeed in the NBA?

Jerome Williams will join the show for his "Make it Hot" segment to talk about Stephon Marbury's surgery, the chances of Jason Kidd (and others) getting traded before the deadline, and to determine whether the Raptors are for real after their road victory over the dominant Boston Celtics.

Marc Stein of ESPN.com is reporting that Damon Stoudamire is trying get out of Memphis through a buy-out in an attempt to sign elsewhere.

The Celtics and Suns both covet the veteran point guard, but Stoudamire might entertain the idea of returning to the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors drafted him, and he won the Rookie of the Year award for the 1995-96 season in Toronto.
