Overview

  • Toronto, which signed Fultz to a 10-day deal Monday, filled an open roster spot without waiving anyone.
  • Fultz earned the call-up after six games with Raptors 905, where he averaged 9.8 points and 5.3 assists.
  • He was available for the road game in Utah after Quickley was ruled out with a foot injury, with Toronto at 39-31 in a tight Eastern Conference race.
  • Under NBA rules, the Raptors can offer one more 10-day next, then must convert Fultz to a standard contract to keep him.
  • The 2017 No. 1 pick is trying to reset his career after injuries disrupted his shot and a 21-game, 2.9-point stint with the Kings last season.
