Raptors' DeMarre Carroll: Not at full strength

Carroll said he's currently between 80-to-90 percent healthy, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Carroll missed the majority of the 2015-16 campaign after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and despite being cleared for action, Carroll believes he's yet to make a return to full strength. He still played nearly 30 minutes in the season opener Wednesday and appears likely to play through any lingering ailments, so don't expect these latest comments to hurt his stock. If anything, look for Carroll to only improve with time, which should help him bounce back from a less than spectacular showing in the opener.
