On Sunday, the Toronto Raptors have officially announced that they have signed Fernando to a contract. Fernando responded to the team's post. His post had over 2,000 likes and 85,000 impressions in 12 hours. Fernando wrote: "THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY " Jay Rosales of That's A Rap Podcast added more details. Via Rosales: "Raptors make the official announcement on the Bruno Fernando signing. He, along with Quincy Guerrier and Jamison Battle, will head into training camp with a shot for the 15th roster spot. Toronto can bring one more player to camp."

At just 25, he is young enough that he could still continue to improve over the next few seasons. Fernando was the 34th pick
