Mo Pete's streak ends at 370

TORONTO -- Morris Peterson was scratched from the Toronto Raptors' game against Cleveland on Wednesday night because of a slightly torn tendon in his left elbow, ending the longest consecutive games streak in the NBA.

Peterson played in 370 straight games since Feb. 12, 2002.

The elbow has bothered him for more than a week and an MRI on Wednesday showed the slight tear. He's listed as day-to-day.

"It's going to be kind of awkward sitting on the sideline watching the game," Peterson said. "I'm going to have to borrow a jacket from Chris Bosh. I don't have too many sport coats. I didn't plan on sitting out."

Peterson, who lost his starting job last week, is averaging 12.3 points and 3.6 rebounds.

Atlanta's Joe Johnson now has the longest active streak at 367 games. He would need to keep playing at least another decade to approach the record of 1,192 set by A.C. Green from 1986-01.
