The Toronto Raptors are keeping Armoni Brooks around for a little while longer.
Brooks has reportedly earned a second 10-day contract, according to Sportsnet's Blake Murphy.
It'll give the Raptors a longer look at the 23-year-old shooting guard who started one game for Toronto last week against the Denver Nuggets.
While Brooks hasn't made any significant impact for the Raptors so far, he's a three-point threat who can come off the bench and help space the floor when Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby are sidelined. He nailed a three-pointer against Denver, shooting 1-for-4 from behind the arc in 22 minutes played.

Brooks will have five more games with Toronto before his contract expires on March 25. The Raptors cannot offer Brooks a third 10-day contract and will either have to sign the 6-foot-3 shooting guard to a standard contract for the remainder of the season or let him return to the open market as a free agent.
The Raptors brought in Brooks following an injury to D.J. Wilson who the organization had previously signed to a 10-day contract.
Brooks has played in 65 NBA games this season, primarily with the Houston Rockets, and he's averaging 5.7 points per game.
