The small moves keep coming It’s a small move, but a move nonetheless.

After spending all of last season in the NBA G League with Raptors 905 (averaging 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game), the versatile 6-foot-6 forward is getting another chance in the NBA.
Hakeem The Dream, Clyde The Glide, Magic: The NBA has produced some incredible nicknames over the decades. Some, like Magic and Penny, have even come to largely replace the player's actual name.
The 10-day contracts of guard/forward Justise Winslow and forward Mouhamadou Gueye expired, sending both back into unrestricted free agency. Winslow did not appear in a game, with Gueye appearing in just one.
It was reported on Saturday by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that free agent forward Justise Winslow had agreed to a 10-day contract with the Toronto Raptors.
The Toronto Raptors have made it clear this season that they intend on entering a full-scale rebuild. After trading away Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, it’s clear they aren’t intent on winning in the near future.
The Toronto Raptors will be rewarding their guys. Mouhamadou Gueye and Justise Winslow, two members of the Raptors 905, have reportedly signed 10-day contracts to join the big club, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania.
Justise Winslow could barely contain his excitement. “Can I curse?” he asked the assembled media after walking off the court in his first basketball game in almost a year.
Justise Winslow is back. The 27-year-old former NBA lottery pick will return to the court Tuesday night for the first time since suffering a season-ending ankle injury in December of last year with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Winslow averaged 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game for the Heat last season and was expected to provide the Grizzlies with some much-needed depth at the forward position.
