Jared Sullinger didn’t plan to spend Toronto’s season opener stuck on the sidelines. Unfortunately, having surgery on the fifth metatarsal in his left foot on Monday meant Sullinger’s Raptors debut will have to wait. Despite the personal setback, Sullinger was happy about the team’s win against the Detroit Pistons and spoke glowingly about rookie Pascal Siakam who started in his place.
Speaking with the media after the team practiced on Thursday, Sullinger was sporting a cast and on crutches, but spent his time sprinkling in jokes and smiles was answering questions about his surgery.
