Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that league sources, cited by Chris Haynes, say Jemison agreed to a one-season two-way contract with the Raptors.
- Toronto had an open two-way slot on its 21-man offseason roster, so the team can add Jemison without an immediate corresponding roster cut.
- Jemison went undrafted out of UAB in 2023 and has spent three pro seasons shuttling between the NBA and the G League, appearing in 76 regular-season NBA games.
- Because he has three years of NBA service, this will be his final season eligible for a two-way deal and finishing the year on that contract could make him a restricted free agent next summer.
- The Raptors plan to use Jemison as frontcourt depth behind Jakob Poeltl and Trayce Jackson-Davis alongside two-way players Chucky Hepburn and Jaden Bradley, with performance in camp or the G League offering a path to a standard NBA contract.
