The Raptors have agreed to a deal with Andre Jackson Jr. that will provide the athletic guard an opportunity to compete for a roster spot at training camp, Michael Scotto reports for HoopsHype (Twitter link).
While terms of the deal were not disclosed, it’s almost certainly a non-guaranteed contract.
Jackson spent the first three seasons of his career with the Bucks after being drafted 36th overall in 2023. While he’s a high-flier and impressive perimeter defender, his struggles to score have kept him in a limited role despite Milwaukee’s need for perimeter players over the last couple of seasons. He averaged a career-low 8.5 minutes per game last season and posted .328/.250/.625 shooting splits.
The Raptors currently have 10 players on guaranteed deals, excluding Gradey Dick, Brandon Ingram, and Kawhi Leonard, whose futures with the club remain unclear. They also have two players – Jamison Battle and Trayce Jackson-Davis – on non-guaranteed contracts.
