The Raptors have agreed to a two-way deal with A.J. Lawson, Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype tweets.
Lawson had an eventful training camp with the Mavericks. Dallas waived Lawson and his non-guaranteed standard contract, then brought him back on a two-way deal after he cleared waivers. The Mavericks waived Lawson once again before the regular season and he then joined the NBA G League Long Island Nets.
Lawson appeared in a total of 56 NBA games for the Mavericks during his two seasons with the team, including 42 in 2023/24. He averaged 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per contest and posted a shooting line of .457/.307/.548 at the NBA level.
Lawson has averaged 24 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 steals for the Long Island Nets this season.
Toronto opened up a two-way slot on Tuesday by waiving D.J. Carton, who is currently dealing with an ankle injury. Several Raptors regulars are currently dealing with injuries, including Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and Bruce Brown. The 6’6” Lawson will add depth to the wing positions.
