Toronto Raptors Sign NCAA Champion Alijah Martin to Two-Way Contract

The Toronto Raptors have signed rookie guard Alijah Martin to a two-way contract after selecting him 39th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. Martin, a 6-foot-2 guard from Mississippi, was instrumental in leading the University of Florida to the 2025 NCAA national championship, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Prior to transferring to Florida, Martin spent four seasons at Florida Atlantic University, helping the Owls reach the Final Four in 2023 and becoming one of only four NCAA Division I players to reach the Final Four with two different programs. The Raptors plan to develop Martin primarily with their G League affiliate, Raptors 905, while also giving him opportunities to contribute at the NBA level. This signing reflects Toronto’s focus on developing players with two-way contracts who offer defensive intensity and scoring potential. Martin is expected to make his Summer League debut soon and compete for a roster spot in training camp.
