Raptors waive three players – NBA Blog – NBA Basketball Blog

The Toronto Raptors announced yesterday that they have waived guards Jahmi’us Ramsey and Jared Rhoden and center Brenden Carlson.

In a corresponding move, the Raptors converted forward Jamison Battle to a two-way contract.

Battle, 6-foot-6, 228 pounds, averaged 15.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 31.4 minutes in 35 games (all starts) as a fifth-year senior at Ohio State last season. He shot .469 (179-382) from the field and a career-best .433 (91-210) from beyond the arc, which ranked second in the Big Ten and ninth nationally. He also led the Big Ten with a .926 (88-95) free throw percentage. Prior to joining the Buckeyes, Battle played two seasons at George Washington (2019-21) and two at Minnesota (2021-23).

A native of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, Battle averaged 6.4 points and 9.8 minutes in five preseason games with the Raptors after signing as an undrafted free agent July 16. Toronto finished the preseason with a 3-2 record.

Toronto’s roster now stands at the league maximum 15 players and three two-way players.
