The Toronto Raptors made roster moves by releasing five players and transitioning center Nate Bittle to a two-way contract. Standing at seven feet tall and hailing from Central Point, Oregon, Bittle led the team last season with an average of 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds in 25 games during his final year at Oregon.
The players let go by the Raptors include forward Tyson Degenhart, center Jamarion Sharp, and guards Nimari Burnett, Jalen Celestine, and Tyreke Key. The team’s upcoming season will kick off on Wednesday evening as they face the Chicago Bulls at home.
