Sullinger will serve as a backup in Friday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger entered the starting lineup Tuesday, but he was replaced by Patrick Patterson in Wednesday's game, and the Raptors will stick with the exact same lineup again Friday with DeMar DeRozan still sidelined.

Sullinger will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger was originally expected to stick with the starting lineup, but the Raptors opted to make a late switch and will instead use Patrick Patterson with the top unit. Sullinger has been limited to just 12 minutes in each of his last two contests and will likely be on some heavy restrictions again Wednesday, which means Patterson should take on a big minutes load at power forward.

Sullinger failed to score a point (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and recorded only two rebounds and a steal in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 108-106 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Although he got the start at power forward, both Patrick Patterson and Lucas Nogueira ended up seeing more court time than Sullinger did. He has yet to see more than 17 minutes or score more than nine points in four appearances since recovering from a foot injury, and it could be a while yet before he's healthy enough, and familiar with the Raptors' system enough, to start making a big impact for the club.

Sullinger will start a power forward in Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

A foot injury kept Sullinger sidelined from the start of the regular season up until Jan. 18, and the power forward has been limited in each of his three appearances since his return. But now, with Sullinger assuming the role he was expected to have coming into the 2016-17 season, it's possible he may be in for some extended run in the frontcourt Tuesday. But with Patrick Patterson (knee) also being cleared to play, the Raptors do finally have some reliable depth in their frontcourt rotation.

Sullinger (foot) made his Raptors debut Wednesday. He scored eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and added three rebounds in 14 minutes during the 94-89 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Sullinger played only limited minutes in the debut. It is expected that he will be eased into a bigger role, though neither the rate of easing nor the size of the eventual role are yet known.

Sullinger (foot) will make his Raptors debut Wednesday against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger was cleared to practice less than a week ago after undergoing surgery in October to address a fractured right foot, and he'll now suit up for his first game for the Raptors since signing as a free agent in the offseason. The forward will likely be brought along gradually as he works back into game shape, and he's expected to face a minutes restriction for at least his first few games back. Eventually, it's possible that Sullinger could end up as the Raptors' starting power forward.

Sullinger (foot) was cleared to practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger went through surgery on his fractured right foot back in October and it looks as if a return to the floor is near. The Raptors play the Nets on Friday, so Sullinger could be back at practice as soon as this weekend. The team will likely ease the big man back into the rotation, but Sullinger is expected to take over as the team's starting power forward once he is back in game shape.

Sullinger (foot) could start practicing as soon as the week of Jan. 16, provided things go smoothly at his expected checkup, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger also went through four-on-four drills Friday. It's unclear what his exact role will be once he touches the court, but he should be able to provide relief for the Raptors' big men once he's available.

Sullinger (foot) took part in four-on-four drills during Friday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Lewenberg, it's the most rigorous workout Sullinger has performed with the Raptors since he was shut down during the preseason with a sore left foot that ultimately required surgery. The Raptors still haven't offered a firm timetable on Sullinger's return, but a more concrete date could emerge once he's taken part in a full-court, full-contact five-on-five drills. In addition to Friday's workout, Sullinger was also able to put up some shots during the Raptors' pregame warmup ahead of Thursday's contest with the Jazz. Sullinger's involvement in on-court activities in back-to-back days would certainly seem to indicate that he's inching closer toward making his season debut.

Sullinger (foot) is no longer in a walking boot and has been able to do some light shooting of late, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no indication that Sullinger has suffered a setback in his recovery from a fractured left foot, which required surgery back in October, but he remains without a definitive timetable for a return. That will likely be the case until he's cleared to do some full-contact work, something that doesn't appear to be on the horizon, given his limited on-court work to date.
