Former No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz is signing a 10-day contract with the Toronto Raptors, according to Raymond Brothers of I Am Sports & Entertainment via ESPN. The veteran guard officially joins the Raptors roster as he enters his ninth season in the NBA.
Fultz earns the call-up to the main roster after spending time with the organization's G League affiliate, the Raptors 905. The 26-year-old playmaker has been working his way back to the NBA level through the developmental system, and this 10-day agreement provides a window for the Toronto Raptors to evaluate his fit within their current rotation.
The move marks the latest chapter for Fultz, who was the top selection in the 2017 NBA Draft. After previous stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic, he now looks to provide depth to the Raptors' backcourt. Per ESPN, the deal is finalized as the team continues its mid-season roster adjustments.
