The Toronto Raptors have signed local player AJ Lawson to a two-year standard NBA deal, transitioning from a two-way contract after a solid season. Lawson averaged 8.8 points and 3.2 rebounds while receiving more playing time due to teammates' injuries. The Raptors have a history of supporting Canadian players, with others like RJ Barrett and Kelly Olynyk also featured prominently in the teamâs strategies. Lawson's new contract allows for participation in summer programs while giving the Raptors a chance to evaluate his fit for next season.
Lawson, who played in the CEBL before eventually making his way to the Raptors, is the latest Canadian talent this team has rewarded.
Now Lawson will get an extended look. This two-year deal is not guaranteed for the entire stretch, but this allows him to participate in the Raptors' summer program and training camp.
