"Jackson-Davis was the 57th overall pick the 2023 NBA draft and has posted averages of 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 63.5% from the field and 56.6% from the free throw line. The 25 year-old has spent all three seasons of his career with the Warriors but has seen his role diminish this season. The trade garners Toronto a depth big man, who will shore up the rotation during Jakob Poeltl's absence and though he stands at just six-foot-nine, provides decent rim protection, passing, and rebounding."
"Jackson-Davis has a $2.4 million team option for next season, so this season will essentially serve as an extended tryout, or possibly a stopgap in their center rotation until a permanent solution is found. Regardless, despite not being over seven feet, he does provide another option the Raptors can throw at opposing centers outside of Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles."
Toronto acquired Trayce Jackson-Davis from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick (via the Lakers). Jackson-Davis was the 57th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft and has averaged 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 63.5% from the field and 56.6% from the free-throw line. He has spent three seasons with Golden State but saw his role diminish this year. The addition provides Toronto a depth center to cover Jakob Poeltl's absence, offering rim protection, passing and rebounding despite being 6'9". Jackson-Davis carries a $2.4 million team option for next season, making the remainder of the year effectively an extended tryout or short-term stopgap. The move was enabled by an earlier Ochai Agbaji trade.
