Forward Justise Winslow signed a contract with the Toronto Raptors, according to multiple media reports on Friday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Winslow, 27, averaged 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 40.9 percent from the field in 29 games last season with the Portland Trail Blazers. His season was cut short, however, after he sprained his ankle in a 101-98 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Dec. 21.
Winslow underwent ankle surgery in late March but is expected to be ready for the upcoming season.
The Miami Heat selected Winslow out of Duke with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. In 344 career NBA games (128 starts) for the Heat (2015-20), Memphis Grizzlies (2020-21), Los Angeles Clippers (2021-22) and Blazers, Winslow owns career averages of 8.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
The Raptors waived center Makur Maker on Friday to make room on the roster for Winslow, according to reports.
