Toronto Raptors power forward Jared Sullinger will make his season debut in Wednesday night's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Sullinger was forced to undergo surgery in his left foot after suffering an injury during the team's preseason opener in October.

The 6-foot-9 power forward was signed to a one-year, $6-million contract this summer after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Boston Celtics.

It's unclear how much floor time Sullinger will see on Wednesday, but could see his fair share, given that big men Patrick Patterson and Lucas Nogueira are both currently nursing injuries.

The 24-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 steals with the Celtics last season.
