Raptors' Murray has foot surgery, out at least eight weeks

TORONTO -- Toronto Raptors forward Lamond Murray underwent surgery Monday to repair a ligament tear in his right foot and is expected to miss at least eight weeks.

Murray was injured in a game against the New Jersey Nets on Oct. 18.

The Raptors acquired Murray in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for Michael Stewart last month. Murray was the Cavs' leading scorer last season, averaging a career-high 16.6 points per game.

The Raptors signed free-agent shooting guard Voshon Lenard last week to replace Murray.
