Guard Alijah Martin has agreed to a two-year, $4.8MM deal to remain with the Raptors, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.
Martin was the 39th overall selection in the 2025 draft. He was on a two-way contract this past season and the Raptors extended a two-way qualifying offer last week to make him a restricted free agent. He’ll now join the 15-man roster on a standard contract.
It’s a minimum salary deal. His cap hit will be approximately $2.19MM, slightly below the veteran’s minimum of $2.45MM, That will give the Raptors a little more wiggle room regarding their salary cap and tax apron situations.
Martin came off the bench in 23 games for Toronto during his rookie campaign, averaging 2.2 points in 6.3 minutes during those appearances. He spent most of the season with Raptors 905 in the G League, averaging 18.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 30.8 minutes per game in 40 contests. He shot 48.7 percent overall and an impressive 39.6 percent from long range.
The 6’2” Mitchell will now look to break into the guard rotation in his second season.
