Overview
- The Toronto Raptors announced a multi-year extension for head coach Darko Rajaković via the team’s channels, and the club did not disclose financial terms or the contract length.
- Rajaković has a 101-145 record across three seasons in Toronto and led the team to a 46-36 mark this past year, a 16-win improvement that earned the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
- Toronto extended its postseason run to seven games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a showing the team cited when explaining its decision to keep the coaching core intact.
- The coaching extension follows the recent promotion and multi-year extension for general manager Bobby Webster as part of a front-office stability push.
- The deal raises expectations for roster moves and a deeper playoff bid next season, so observers should watch offseason personnel decisions and any reported trades for how they change the team’s title chances.
