TORONTO -- Raptors forward Pape Sow had neck surgery to repair a fractured vertebrae after falling and hitting another player during practice in Las Vegas.
The operation was Thursday night, with no timetable set for his return, the team said Friday.
Sow was driving to the basket Tuesday while preparing for the Las Vegas Summer League. His neck struck a player's leg as he went down.
He was taken by ambulance to a Las Vegas hospital and has been there since.
Sow, 6-foot-10, averaged 3.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 42 games for Toronto last season, including 25 games as a starter.
