The Raptors have filled the open spot on their 15-man roster by signing guard Jared Rhoden to a 10-day contract, the team announced today in a press release.
Rhoden, 25, was in camp with Toronto back in the fall. When the Raptors waived him at the end of the preseason, he was claimed by the Hornets, who converted him to a two-way deal and kept him him on their roster for about six weeks before cutting him in early December.
After appearing in four games for the Hornets and two for their G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, Rhoden has been suiting up for the Raptors 905 since the start of the NBAGL regular season in late December.
The former Seton Hall standout has averaged 15.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in 29.4 minutes per game across 18 appearances for Toronto’s G League affiliate. He has knocked down down 50.7% of his shots from the floor, including 41.9% of his three-pointers.

Rhoden, who also has previous NBA experience for Detroit, will earn $119,972 on his 10-day deal, while the Raptors will carry an identical cap hit. The contract will run through next Friday (Feb. 28), covering the club’s first five games out of the All-Star break. Once it expires, the Raptors will have the ability to sign Rhoden to a second 10-day deal if they choose.
Toronto had been carrying an open spot on its 15-man roster since waiving James Wiseman on Feb. 7.
They should be looking at PF’s and C’s the same age as their young core from Barnes to IQ (23-25)
Ulrich or whatever his name is who just recently just was injured the rest of the season doesn’t fit the timeline. No need for real young players on the Raptors
He was on my list for a couple of teams as a possibility, but I guess we’ll see in 10 days, if he doesn’t get another deal…Heat, GS, Lakers all made sense as well
