Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby may not return until the Eastern Conference finals at the earliest, provided the club makes it that far, following an emergency appendectomy Thursday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Raptors announced Thursday that Anunoby would be out "indefinitely" following the procedure, though reports specified he would miss a minimum of two weeks. The conference finals likely wouldn't begin until mid-May though, potentially pushing the 21-year-old's recovery timetable to a month.

Toronto faces the Orlando Magic in the opening round and would potentially take on either the Philadelphia 76ers or the Brooklyn Nets in the conference semifinals.

Anunoby averaged 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 67 games with the Raptors in his sophomore season.
