2:20pm: The Raptors’ deal with Boucher is now official, the team announced in a press release. It’s an Exhibit 10 contract, a source informs Blake Murphy of Raptors Republic (Twitter link).
12:12pm: The Raptors have agreed to terms on a training camp deal for free agent power forward Chris Boucher, sources tell Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). While the exact terms aren’t known, Boucher’s contract with Toronto likely won’t include much – if any – guaranteed money.
Boucher, 25, signed a two-way contract with the Warriors last offseason after going undrafted out of Oregon. Although he was a member of Golden State’s 17-man roster for the entire 2017/18 season, he appeared in just one NBA game, spending most of his time with the Dubs’ G League affiliate in Santa Cruz. He was waived in June.
Boucher, who grew up in Canada, played for the Raptors’ Summer League squad in Las Vegas earlier this month. In four games (20.8 MPG), he contributed 10.8 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and an impressive 3.3 BPG, earning himself a training camp invite.
If he doesn’t make Toronto’s regular season roster, Boucher could be a candidate for a spot on the Raptors 905 in the G League, or could end up on a two-way contract with the club. The Raptors currently have a pair of open two-way slots — the team is hoping to fill one with Jordan Loyd, but there’s uncertainty about whether he’ll be able to get out of his contract with Darussafaka.
