4:51PM: Toronto has officially announced the signing of Ramsey (via Twitter).
2:44PM: The Raptors have signed free agent guard Jahmi’us Ramsey to an Exhibit 10 contract, reports Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (Twitter links).
Ramsey, 23, was the No. 43 overall pick of the 2020 draft after one college season at Texas Tech. He spent the majority of his first two seasons with the Kings, but he didn’t receive much playing time (7.1 MPG in 32 total games), and Sacramento cut him loose in February 2022.
The 6’3″ shooting guard caught on with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s NBA G League affiliate, following his stint with the Kings. Ramsey spent the entire 2022/23 season with the Blue and most of last season as well, having inked an Exhibit 10 deal with the Thunder last October before being waived to secure a bonus.
Ramsey, who earned a spot on the All-NBA G League Third Team in 2023/24, signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Raptors in March. He appeared in seven games with Toronto, averaging 6.7 PPG, 3.1 RPG and 1.0 SPG on .439/.273/.833 shooting in 17.3 MPG.
As a three-year veteran, Ramsey remains eligible for a two-way contract for one more season. However, all three of the Raptors’ two-way spots are currently occupied, so they’d have to release someone for Ramsey to be converted.
If Ramsey is waived before the season begins and reports to the Raptors 905 (Toronto’s NBAGL affiliate) for at least 60 days, he could earn a bonus worth up to $77.5K on top of his regular G League salary.
The Raptors’ 21-man offseason roster is now full.
