Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler isn't expected to play Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, according to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic.

The big man is battling a right hamstring strain he suffered early in Friday's match against the Golden State Warriors.

Chandler has struggled to adapt to his new team so far, averaging career lows in points (5.0), blocks (0.7), and field goal percentage (46.4).

Mirza Teletovic replaced Chandler at the five-spot following the injury, playing 21 minutes against the Warriors. The natural power forward was 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, but grabbed just two rebounds and shot 33 percent from the field.

Sunday's match north of the border is the first of Phoenix's six-game road trip.
