Landry Fields out for several weeks following wrist surgery

Landry Fields has been ruled out for several weeks after undergoing surgery on his right wrist.

The Toronto Raptors forward, who previously had a procedure to alleviate nerve compression in his right elbow, has been having problems with the ulnar nerve in his hand.

The team has described the operation as a "minor surgical procedure".

It is expected that Fields, who has featured in 23 games this season, will be able to return to light practice in three weeks.
