Jared Sullinger Will Make Raptors Debut Tonight

Free agent addition Jared Sullinger will play his first game for the Raptors tonight in Philadelphia, according to Raptors Media Relations (Twitter link). His minutes will be limited as he works his way back from foot surgery.

After four seasons in Boston, Sullinger signed a one-year, $5.628MM deal with Toronto in July. He was expected to be the team’s starting power forward, but had to undergo surgery on his left foot in October after it was stepped on in the Raptors’ first preseason game.

The 21st pick in the 2012 draft, Sullinger worked his way up to starter status with the Celtics. He averaged 10.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in 81 games last season.
