CALGARY -- The Calgary Stampeder offence will have an unfamiliar look Friday in Toronto, particularly if running back Jon Cornish cant play. Jordan Lukaku Belgium Jersey . Cornish is questionable for the game against the Argonauts -- a rematch of the 2012 Grey Cup -- with what head coach John Hufnagel called a thigh contusion. The CFLs leading rusher last season and the No. 2 runner behind Saskatchewans Kory Sheets this year didnt practise for a second straight day Wednesday. "It I cant go, then Ill try and get straight. If I can go, Ill try and dominate," Cornish said. But Cornish described the injury as one of "overuse" and not bruising. He ran for 175 yards and four touchdowns Aug. 9 in a 42-27 win over Saskatchewan, but was limited to 73 yards and one major in a 26-22 loss to the B.C. Lions last Saturday. "Ive recently restored a lot of range of motion to my leg that I havent had for four years," Cornish explained. "My leg did more work than probably its done with that range of motion in the (Saskatchewan) game and then (I) played in the B.C. game. It didnt feel good in that game." Calgary native Matt Walter will get the nod at halfback if Cornish cant play, Hufnagel said. Calgarys depth at receiver is getting tested. Veteran slotback Nik Lewis is out for at least six games with a broken fibula he suffered in Vancouver. Maurice Price also wont play Friday because of an ankle injury. Calgary (5-2) was already without receivers Joe West (shoulder), Johnny Forzani (ankle) and Chris Bauman (wrist) on the nine-game injured list. So Montreal native Jabari Arthur will get a lot of work for the next month and a half during Lewiss absence. Former quarterback Brad Sinopoli of Peterborough, Ont., had five catches for 81 yards his first CFL game as a receiver July 12 and will fill in for Price. It did not go well for Calgarys offence last week after Lewis went out in the second quarter following a tackle by B.C.s Solomon Elimimian. The Stampeders managed just two field goals in the second half as receivers dropped the ball seven times. Stampeder quarterback Kevin Glenn went 22 for 38 for 199 yards in passing. Hufnagel blamed his teams inability to move the ball on his receivers. "Probably one of the most disappointing games from our receivers that Ive been associated with as a group," Hufnagel told the Calgary Herald earlier this week. The coach and general manager was more moderate in his assessment Wednesday. "I didnt call them out. I just explained what happened in the game," the head coach said. "Id never seen a game with seven dropped passes before. Obviously our receivers have to do a better job of catching the football." Toronto (5-2) would probably key on Cornish if he plays given Calgarys unsettled passing game. Cornishs absence would be all the better for the Argonaut defence, ranked No. 2 in the league. "Were going to attack them as best as we can," Arthur said. Marquay McDaniel led Calgary in receptions with seven for 75 yards in Vancouver. The slotback will probably again be a recurring target for Glenn with Lewis out. "Weve just got to go out there and know what were doing each play, knowing your assignment and execute and just got to make the play when the ball comes your way," McDaniel said. "All year one guys gone down and somebodys got to step up and fill that spot." Arthur has dressed for every game and compiled 168 yards on 14 catches. He may not have the stocky Lewiss blocking talent, but at six foot four Arthur is half a foot taller than Lewis and thus offers more vertical. "Nik has a very great skill set and were probably going to miss it a little bit, but I think I also bring a different skill set to the table," Arthur said. "I think Ill still be able to make a few plays like Nik does for that position. "Im going to catch the ball if they throw it to me. Thats what Im going to do." Marouane Fellaini Belgium Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- Clippers guard Jamal Crawford will be named the NBAs Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his career, a league official with knowledge of the award said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league hasnt announced the award. Crawford was the Clippers third-leading scorer and the NBAs top-scoring reserve with 18.6 points per game. He added 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game for the two-time Pacific Division champions. "Hes deserving of it," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "I dont know that theres a more lethal weapon in the league that you could bring off the bench." While starting just 24 of his 69 games this season, the shifty veteran guard had his highest scoring average since the 2009-10 season with Atlanta, where he won his first Sixth Man award. Crawford is the Clippers top perimeter threat, setting a franchise record with 161 3-pointers while making at least one 3-pointer in 63 games. The 6-foot-5 guard also finished ninth in the NBA by making 86.6 per cent of his free throws. Rivers believes Crawford will win the award for his all-around game, not just his shooting acumen. "Hes done this in the past, over the past couple years, where hes been so good offensively,"; Rivers said. http://www.soccerbelgiumfansshop.com/Toby-Alderweireld-UEFA-European-Belgium-Jersey/. "But I actually think he won it because I think voters saw him doing other things for the team -- playing defence, running the team at the point guard position when Chris Paul was out at times. Hes been the perfect utility player for a team. Hes been awesome." The 34-year-old Crawford has spent 14 NBA seasons with six teams, including lengthy stints with the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks. Although he once scored 52 points in a game and averaged more than 20 points per game during a season in New York, Crawford has carved out a career as a dependable rotation member with the Clippers for the last two years, delivering steady bench scoring and veteran leadership. Crawford likely would have received the award Tuesday night before the Clippers fifth playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, but the trouble surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling prevented it. Los Angeles leads the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Oakland on Thursday night. The Clippers are one win away from just their third playoff series victory in 33 years. Crawford is the fourth player to win the Sixth Man award twice in his career, joining Kevin McHale, Ricky Pierce and Detlef Schrempf. Crawford is the first to win it with two different teams.
