Raptors Sign Markelle Fultz to 10-Day Deal After G League Stint

The short-term deal fills a point-guard gap created by Immanuel Quickley’s foot injury.

Overview

  • Fultz is expected to be active for Monday’s game in Utah, giving Toronto immediate backcourt help.
  • Toronto used an open roster spot to add Fultz, so no corresponding move was required.
  • The former No. 1 pick averaged 9.4 points and 6.2 assists in five games with Raptors 905, including a minutes ramp-up over a weekend back-to-back.
  • Under NBA rules, he can sign a second 10-day contract before a standard deal would be required.
  • Fultz has not appeared in the NBA this season after playing 21 games for the Kings last year, and he previously spent time with the 76ers and Magic.
