Injured Toronto Raptors forward Jared Sullinger‘s timeline to return could be anywhere in the range of 2-3 months, team president Masai Ujiri told reporters on Monday.
Sullinger was scheduled to have foot surgery Monday afternoon. The procedure will see him have a screw inserted into the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Martin O’Malley in New York City.
The four-year veteran joined the Raptors as a free agent in July. He has averaged 11.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 24.9 minutes in 258 regular season games.
The Raptors begin their season Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons at Air Canada Centre.
