Jamison Battle Signs Three-Year Contract With Toronto Raptors

Jamison Battle, a former Ohio State forward, has secured a three-year standard NBA contract with the Toronto Raptors after initially joining the team on a two-way contract. The 23-year-old impressed during the Summer League and has played 35 games this season, averaging 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds. His new contract comes as the Raptors are in a rebuilding phase, having traded away several veterans, which has opened up more playing time for younger players like Battle. General manager Bobby Webster expressed excitement about providing Battle with increased opportunities following these trades. The Raptors currently hold a 16-35 record and recently added Brandon Ingram to their roster. Battle's journey from undrafted free agent to a full-time roster spot highlights his resilience and potential in the league.
