Carroll (ankle) underwent surgery Tuesday and remains without a timetable for return, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury that caused Carroll to miss last week's preseason finale was more serious than anticipated, requiring surgery. A timetable has yet to be established for his return, but a multi-week absence is essentially a guarantee. While he's out, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (hip) and Jared Dudley are expected to shoulder much of the burden at power forward. Hollis-Jefferson is owned in the majority of leagues, but Dudley should be available in most formats. That said, he hasn't averaged double-digit points since 2012-13 and probably represents a deep league option.
