Raptors Acquire Versatile Forward from G League
Toronto, ON - July 11, 2023
The Toronto Raptors have announced the signing of 6-foot-11 forward Jontay Porter to a multi-year contract.
Porter, 23, joins the Raptors after spending the past two seasons with the Motor City Cruise in the NBA G League. Last season, he averaged 16.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, leading the Cruise to a playoff appearance.
Porter's signing is a significant addition to the Raptors' frontcourt. He is a skilled scorer and rebounder, with the ability to also contribute on the defensive end. He is expected to provide valuable depth and versatility to the team.
"We're very excited to welcome Jontay to the Raptors," said Raptors President Masai Ujiri. "He's a young, talented player with a huge upside. We believe he can be a valuable contributor to our team and help us compete for a championship."
Porter's signing is part of the Raptors' ongoing effort to build a young and competitive team. He joins a core group of emerging players, including Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, and OG Anunoby.
Porter is expected to make his Raptors debut in the 2023-24 NBA season. His contract details have not been disclosed.
