Foot surgery to keep Sullinger sidelined early

Raptors free-agent acquisition Jared Sullinger will have surgery Monday to have a screw inserted into the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, the team announced Sunday.

Sullinger signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Raptors during the offseason after spending his first four seasons with the Celtics. The forward injured his foot in the preseason opener against the Warriors on Oct. 1.

The Raptors did not announce a timetable for his return. One source close to Sullinger, however, said it's unlikely the player will be back on the court in the next month.
