Raptors Picked Up Option On Rajakovic’s Contract For 2026/27 Season

The Raptors picked up their 2026/27 option on head coach Darko Rajakovic’s contract last summer, according to Michael Grange of Sportsnet.

Rajakovic is finished up his second season as the head coach. His bosses have now made a financial commitment to him for the next two seasons.

Toronto began a major rebuild by dealing OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam during the 2023/24 season. The Raptors played a facilitating role in the Jimmy Butler blockbuster and also acquired injured forward Brandon Ingram last month, signing him to a three-year contract extension. Ingram has yet to make his Toronto debut.

Rajokovic has a 53-104 record since replacing Nick Nurse after Toronto defeated Philadelphia on Sunday night.

Rajakovic, who originally hails from Serbia and coached in the Spanish EBA League before arriving stateside, was Memphis’ lead assistant prior to getting the job. He was also an assistant coach with the Thunder and Suns.
