Toronto Raptors Finalize 2024-25 Roster Cuts

The Toronto Raptors have finalized their roster ahead of the 2024-25 season by waiving guards Jahmi'us Ramsey and Jared Rhoden, as well as center Brenden Carlson. In a strategic move, the Raptors converted Jamison Battle's contract to a two-way deal, allowing him to play in both the NBA and G League. Battle, who averaged 6.4 points during the preseason, impressed the organization enough to secure a spot after going undrafted from Ohio State. The team's roster now consists of the maximum 15 players and three two-way contracts. The Raptors, who ended the preseason with a 3-2 record, will kick off their regular season against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Expectations are modest for the Raptors, but they aim to improve from last season's disappointing 25-57 record, bolstered by emerging talents like Grady Dick and Scottie Barnes.
