Raptors Sign 7-Foot Prospect Nate Bittle | Toronto Raptors News

The Raptors just got a giant upgrade, signing seven-foot, 250-pound center Nate Bittle — a 23-year-old Oregon standout who dominated his final college season with career highs in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks. Honored with All-Big Ten and All-Defensive Team nods, and a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year finalist nod, Bittle’s got the size and upside to fill a major frontcourt void. He’ll start with the Raptors 905 on Exhibit-10 terms but has a real shot to climb to the main roster — and we’re watching closely to see if he can translate his college dominance to NBA-level play.

Raptors Youth Tested Against Celtics | Toronto Raptors News

The Raptors’ Summer League opener against the Celtics is more than just exhibition basketball—it’s a high-stakes proving ground for their young core, especially rookie Allen Graves, whose defensive grit and offensive versatility could mirror last year’s breakout Collin Murray-Boyles. With Kawhi’s future uncertain, this is the moment for the next wave to step up—or risk being moved. Facing Boston’s fast-paced, energetic roster, these under-25 players must show they’re ready to be rotational pieces or face the cut. Every game counts.

Lowry and Barnes: The Smartest Winners | Toronto Raptors News

Kyle Lowry’s emotional return to Toronto to retire as a Raptor wasn’t just a farewell—it was a testament to his legacy as a gritty, problem-solving leader who won by doing “anything it takes.” Now, Scottie Barnes is carrying that torch, emerging as the team’s best player since Siakam’s departure with the same basketball IQ and clutch instincts that defined Lowry’s greatness. Both thrive in the unseen moments—making the right reads, executing flawless plays, and manipulating the game to win. Barnes even mirrors Lowry’s signature moves, proving that true greatness isn’t always measured in points, but in intelligence, toughness, and relentless team-first commitment.

Kawhi Trade on Hold as NBA Investigates | Toronto Raptors News

The NBA has paused a blockbuster Kawhi Leonard trade to the Raptors after investigating allegations the Clippers secretly circumvented the salary cap to sign him. If the league voids Kawhi’s contract, the trade collapses — sending Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and draft picks back to Toronto, while Kawhi becomes a free agent, likely signing via a mid-level exception. Kawhi, who led Toronto to its first title in 2019 and averaged nearly 28 points last season, remains a top-tier talent. The Raptors are eager to bring him back and are waiting for the league’s swift resolution, aware they may face consequences. The outcome could dramatically reshape both teams’ futures.
