The Toronto Raptors announced on Wednesday that forward DeMarre Carroll underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in New York City.

The team will update his status as appropriate.

Caroll, 29, missed Monday night's 122-100 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with swelling in the knee. He missed nine games in the month of December with a knee injury.

The native of Birmingham, Alabama is in his seventh NBA season and first with the Raptors. Carroll signed a four-year, $60 million deal with the Atlantic Division champions in the summer, coming over from the Atlanta Hawks. He has also spent time with the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz.

The Mizzou product has appeared in 23 games this season for the Raptors, averaging 11.7 points and 4.8 rebounds in 31.9 minutes a night.

The Raptors, 21-15, sit first in the Atlantic and fourth in the Eastern Conference. The team returns to action on Tuesday night when it hosts the Brooklyn Nets.
