Overview
- The agreement, reported Tuesday, August 4, sends 26-year-old Trey Jemison to the Toronto Raptors on a one-season two-way contract after he spent 2025–26 on a two-way with the New York Knicks.
- Jemison will split time between the Raptors and G League affiliate Raptors 905 and serves as a physical, rebounding, rim-protecting backup rather than a floor-spacing scorer.
- Because he has three years of NBA service, the 2026–27 season will be his final year eligible for a two-way deal and he could become a restricted free agent next summer if he finishes the year on that contract.
- The move uses Toronto’s last two-way opening without a corresponding roster cut and gives coach Darko Rajaković insurance behind starter Jakob Poeltl and reserve bigs such as Trayce Jackson-Davis.
- The signing also removes another reserve center option from the market for the Eastern Conference and illustrates how teams use low-risk two-way slots to add size and depth while evaluating players in the G League.
