Raptors Draft Arizona Guard Jaden Bradley at No. 50 Overall
The Toronto Raptors selected Arizona guard Jaden Bradley with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The 22-year-old gives Toronto a steady senior guard after averaging 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 46.3 percent from the field, 39.4 percent from deep, and 80.9 percent at the line. Bradley also won Big 12 Player of the Year, giving the Raptors another competitive backcourt option. With Immanuel Quickley and Jamal Shead already on the roster, Bradley's early fantasy path likely depends on defense, ball security, and whether his improved shooting earns him rotation minutes.

Raptors Snag Allen Graves With 19th Pick in NBA Draft
The Toronto Raptors added Allen Graves to their roster, selecting the forward with the 19th selection in the 2026 NBA Draft. The reigning WCC Sixth Man of the Year, Graves averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists as a true freshman for Santa Clara. The 19-year-old was a point guard before a late growth spurt and brought those do-it-all skills off the bench for a tournament team. Graves is an analytics darling, but there are questions about whether he can match up against tougher competition. The Raptors are loaded with switchable forwards, so it may lead to inconsistent playing time for Graves to start his career.

RJ Barrett Draws Trade Interest in Multi-Team Talks
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett has drawn trade interest in multi-team conversations, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. The 2019 No. 3 pick is entering the final year of his deal at roughly $29.62 million, a clean expiring contract that makes him useful salary-matching in bigger trades. Barrett has averaged 20.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists since joining Toronto, but his scoring is woven into a crowded, expensive core alongside Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram. That logjam could cap his usage and keep his counting stats more solid than elite for fantasy. A move to a needier team could lift his volume, yet his name may surface more because of his matchable salary than any real push to deal him, since Toronto could just as easily keep or extend him.

Raptors Could Extend Darko Rajakovic Soon
Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports that a contract extension for Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic is "well in the works" and could be completed before Tuesday's draft. Rajakovic is coming off his best season in Toronto, leading the Raptors to a 46-36 record and their first playoff appearance since 2022. The continuity matters for fantasy purposes, especially after Toronto ranked third in the league in assists per game while leaning on a balanced core. Scottie Barnes remains the clearest beneficiary as a multi-category hub, while RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, and Immanuel Quickley should continue to carry steady offensive roles if the roster stays intact. Toronto's next step is improving half-court scoring while preserving Barnes' playmaking responsibilities.

Raptors Extend Bobby Webster After Playoff Return
The Toronto Raptors extended general manager Bobby Webster and added executive vice president duties to his title, Reuters reports. Toronto also extended front-office executives Dan Tolzman, Keith Boyarsky, and Tyla Flexman, keeping its personnel group intact after a 46-36 season and seven-game first-round loss to Cleveland. Webster has been with the organization since 2013, and the Raptors are 591-455 with nine playoff berths during his tenure. For fantasy, the continuity matters because the same front office is now shaping the next phase around Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, and Immanuel Quickley. Toronto ranked third in assists but only 21st in scoring, so Webster's offseason priority should be adding shooting and cleaner usage lanes around the team's top creators.

Brandon Ingram Undergoes Heel Surgery
Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (heel) underwent a procedure to remove a bone spur from his right heel on Friday. This was an issue that bothered Ingram during the regular season. He also exited Game 5 of the first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to heel pain. He was unable to suit up for Games 6 and 7 because of the injury. This surgery should resolve the problem, and Ingram is expected to be ready to roll for training camp. This season, Ingram averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 33.8 minutes per game across 77 contests.

Gradey Dick Open to Trade Away From Toronto
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gradey Dick is open to a trade this offseason, according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange. After two solid seasons to start his NBA career, Dick's minutes collapsed in 2025-26, and he appears ready to move on. The 22-year-old gave up his starting spot to Brandon Ingram and couldn't force his way back into the first unit even when injuries hit the team. Across 76 regular-season appearances, Dick was limited to 14.0 minutes per game, posting 6.0 points and 1.9 rebounds. After the All-Star break, Dick's minutes dropped to 8.7 per game, and he saw only garbage time during the playoffs. As a young player, Dick needs playing time and the right situation to develop, which the Raptors can no longer provide.

Scottie Barnes Caps Season with Efficient Game 7 Showing
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes recorded 24 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 loss to Cleveland. He went 8-for-14 from the field and a perfect 7-for-7 at the line, doing a bit of everything while carrying the offense. Barnes stayed consistent throughout the series, showing how much the team leans on him to create. RJ Barrett chipped in as a secondary scorer, but most of the offense still flowed through Barnes. With the season now over, Barnes is firmly established as the franchise centerpiece heading into next year.

Brandon Ingram Won't Play in Game 7 Against Cavaliers
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will miss Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. Earlier in the day, the team downgraded Ingram's status from questionable to doubtful and has now officially ruled him out. The two-time All-Star will be absent for a second consecutive game due to right heel inflammation. Jamal Shead stepped into the starting lineup to fill in for Ingram in Game 6 and should retain his spot on Sunday night. Due to a poor 2-for-9 effort from the field, Shead was limited to seven points on Friday, but he did a good job as a playmaker with six assists. The 23-year-old also made an impact defensively, recording one steal in 33 minutes.

Brandon Ingram is Downgraded to Doubtful for Game 7
Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ingram is trending towards missing his second straight game due to an inflamed right heel. The Raptors were able to pull out the victory on Friday without Ingram on the court. Jamal Shead drew the start with Ingram on the sideline, and that'll likely remain the case on Sunday. Shead finished with seven points and six assists across 33 minutes of action on Friday. RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes will be leaned on as the primary scoring options if Ingram is forced to miss this elimination game.

Brandon Ingram Listed as Questionable for Sunday's Game 7
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 7 clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to right heel pain, Ingram wasn't able to complete Game 5 and sat out Game 6. He was seen wearing a walking boot on Friday, a bad sign for his potential comeback on Sunday. Jamal Shead replaced Ingram in the starting unit on Friday night, producing seven points, six assists, one rebound, and one steal in 33 minutes. He will have a more important role again if Ingram isn't ready to play in Sunday's do-or-die contest.

Scottie Barnes Anchors Both Ends in Game 6 Victory
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, 14 assists, three steals, and three blocks in 48 minutes during Friday's Game 6 overtime win over Cleveland. He fell just short of a triple-double while delivering his most complete performance of the series. With Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) sidelined and Brandon Ingram (heel) uncertain, Barnes has taken on primary playmaking duties. Toronto is leaning on Barnes to run the offense, with his passing setting things up and his defense filling the box score as they head into Game 7.

RJ Barrett Hits Clutch Three to Force Game 7
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett scored 24 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in 43 minutes during Friday's Game 6 overtime win over Cleveland, knocking down a go-ahead three in the final seconds to force a Game 7. He shot just 8-for-21 overall but stayed aggressive, continuing a strong series with consistent scoring volume. Barrett remains a high-usage option heading into the deciding game. Scottie Barnes and Ja'Kobe Walter helped carry the load, but the ball still finds Barrett when Toronto needs a bucket, especially in crunch time.

Jamal Shead Joins Starting Lineup Friday
Toronto Raptors point guard Jamal Shead will start Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. He will take Brandon Ingram's (heel) place. Shead played well when Ingram exited Game 5 early and isn't a stranger to the first unit. During the regular season, he logged 12 starts, averaging 11.5 points, 7.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. The Raptors would love to get similar numbers from Shead on Friday night to boost their chances in the elimination game.

Brandon Ingram Out on Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will miss Friday's elimination game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out the second half of Game 5 due to right heel inflammation and won't be available Friday night, after initially being considered questionable for the contest. A.J. Lawson started the second half in Ingram's place in Game 5, but he was limited to just a couple of minutes. Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead are best positioned to benefit from Ingram's absence. There could also be additional playing time for Jamison Battle.
