Jorge Garbajosa MIX by LONGER

Jorge Garbajosa Chaparro Jr., nicknamed "Garbo" (born December 19, 1977 in Torrejón de Ardoz[1], Madrid), is a Spanish professional basketball player who plays for Khimki BC of the Russian League. At 6 ft 9½ in, he plays both power and small forward.
On July 24, 2006, the Toronto Raptors officially signed Garbajosa to a 3-year contract[2] amounting to about US$12 million. He wore #15 for the Raptors, previously worn by ex-Raptors star Vince Carter. Given his pedigree, Garbajosa was a regular starter in the forward position. For the first half of the season, Garbajosa was instrumental in driving the Raptors past the .500 mark and he was awarded Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honours in December 2006.[4]

On March 26, 2007, Garbajosa suffered an injury to his left leg during a regular-season matchup against the Boston Celtics. The injury was serious, as he was carried out on a stretcher in considerable pain. Doctors in Toronto performed surgery to repair a broken fibula, a displaced ankle and ligament damage. Because his recovery time was estimated to be in the range of six months, he was forced to miss the rest of the season and the entire post-season.[5] He averaged 8.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game after 67 appearances in his debut season for the Raptors.[6] Garbajosa and Raptors teammate Andrea Bargnani were named to the NBA All-Rookie Team at the end of the season.[7]

Garbajosa returned to play with the Raptors for the 200708 season, but after meeting with a specialist on November 26, he chose to have further surgery on his leg and ankle.[8] The operation took place on December 11, 2007.[9]

In June 2008, negotiations took place in an attempt by the Raptors to buy out the remaining year of his contract. Garbajosa had previously been named to the Spanish Olympic basketball squad for 2008, against the wishes of the Raptors.[10] On June 18, 2008, the Raptors officially bought out Garbajosa's contract.[11]
