Coach Dwane Casey believes Sullinger (foot) is about a month away from a return to the court, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger underwent surgery at the end of October to address a stress reaction in his left foot and was originally given a two-to-three month timetable for a return. It's been roughly two months since that projected timetable was given, so if coach Dwane Casey's most recent update holds true, Sullinger will be much closer to the back end of that projection, if not held out longer. He's yet to be cleared for any sort of on-court work, so he'll continue to go through additional rehab with the hope of making a return at some point near the end of January.

Sullinger (foot) has been given a rough recovery timeline of about 2-to-3 months, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors announced Sunday that Sullinger will undergo surgery to address a stress reaction in his left foot, which it's believed he suffered during a workout in Washington on Thursday. The Raptors are preparing to be without Sullinger until at least early January, and it's possible his absence could extend further toward the All-Star break. With Sullinger sidelined, coach Dwane Casey hinted that Patrick Patterson is the top candidate to move into the starting lineup in his place, though Casey has also noted in the past that he prefers to have Patterson available in a more versatile bench role. If Casey ultimately opts to go in that direction, Pascal Siakam would be the next candidate to start at the four, and Casey said Monday that Siakam and Patterson could end up going "back and forth."

Sullinger is slated to have foot surgery Monday and is expected to miss extended time to start the regular season, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact procedure has yet to be released, as well as an expected timetable for a return, but Sullinger will undergo foot surgery and is expected to miss a chunk of the regular season. Sullinger was expected to open the season as the team's starting power forward, but Patrick Patterson is now slated to take on a much larger role, while Pascal Siakam could also see additional minutes. Stay tuned for additional information regarding a potential return date in the future.

Sullinger (foot) was held out of Sunday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Dwane Casey already acknowledged that Sullinger's status for the season opener is questionable, but his absence from Sunday's practice seems to indicate he's trending in the wrong direction. With another two days for additional rest and recovery, there's still a chance Sullinger is able to be cleared, although at this point, it's more likely he'll be held out of the first few games of the season. Look for Patrick Patterson to assume the minutes at power forward if he remains sidelined.

Sullinger (foot) will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards and is questionable to be ready for the start of the regular season, Ryan Wolstat of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger has been battling the sore left foot since the start of October, and with Friday being his sixth straight missed game, Sullinger's health is being taken into serious question. With another five days to rest before the start of the regular season, the power forward will have plenty of time to be evaluated, but if he is unable to go by next Wednesday, Patrick Patterson would be in line to start at power forward.

Sullinger (foot) will not play in Wednesday's preseason matchup against Detroit, Chris O'Leary of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger has been battling a sore left foot since Oct. 1, and Wednesday will mark his fifth consecutive absence. Coach Dwane Casey indicated that Sullinger may be able to return for Friday's exhibition finale but noted that the bigger priority is having the big man ready for the regular season opener on Oct. 26. Sullinger is slated to open the season as the Raptors' starting power forward after the team parted ways with Luis Scola over the summer.

Sullinger (foot) indicated that he's uncertain if he'll play in the Raptors' final two preseason games, scheduled for Wednesday against the Pistons and Friday against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of Raptors Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger said that he's been dealing with a sore left foot since the Oct. 1 preseason opener against the Warriors, when another player stepped on the foot. The big man has missed the Raptors' subsequent four games, but believes he could have played through the injury if it were the regular season. For now, his focus is on regaining conditioning before the season begins, so it's not expected that he'll face limitations once he returns. Sullinger is slated to serve as the Raptors' starting power forward in 2016-17, though he'll likely split the time evenly with top backup Patrick Patterson.

Sullinger (foot) will not play in Friday's preseason game against Buenos Aires, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors elected to rest their entire starting lineup, along with Sullinger and Terrance Ross (knee). With Sullinger dealing with a foot issue Toronto won't look to push him to play in the preseason before he's ready. His next chance to play will be against the Pistons next Wednesday.

Sullinger (foot) sat out Thursday's 119-94 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Sullinger has missed three games in a row due to his sore left foot, and with the Raptors playing another exhibition Friday against Argentinian club San Lorenzo de Almagro, it would be unwise to expect the big man back for that contest, either. Rookie Pascal Siakam ended up receiving the start at power forward Thursday, but it's likely that veteran Patrick Patterson would pick up most of the minutes at the position if Sullinger's injury extends into the regular season.

Sullinger (foot) was ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second straight game Sullinger is missing with a sore left foot, and as the favorite to open the season at power forward, it's like the team is just being cautious with him. Backup power forward Patrick Patterson and rookie Pascal Siakam could see additional minutes Wednesday in Sullinger's absence.
