Raptors' young center curse continues to haunt the team after latest news
"As I mentioned yesterday, the Raptors organization announced they waived five players ahead of next week's season opener, and included in that list of cuts were two surprising names: AJ Lawson and Ulrich Chomche. According to Raptors insider Michael Grange, Lawson could continue with his franchise career as part of the Raptors 905 if Toronto can sort out his rights and sign him to fill their open two-way spot."
"Following this surprising news, there was definitely a sense of curiosity and intrigue on Raptors social media to learn more and gain clarity about why Chomche was let go. If you've been following the Raptors' preseason, you might have noticed that Chomche has not played at all for the team. He has been sidelined with an undisclosed condition, and the team has not provided any updates."
The Raptors waived five players before the season opener, including AJ Lawson and Ulrich Chomche. Lawson could continue with Raptors 905 if Toronto sorts out his rights and signs him to the open two-way spot. Chomche, Toronto's 57th pick in the 2024 draft via Memphis, was viewed as a raw, long-term developmental center. Chomche did not appear in preseason and has been sidelined with an undisclosed condition. Chomche has been referred to the NBA's fitness-to-play panel, a process described as similar, process-wise, to Koloko the other year, indicating a significant fitness or medical concern.
