The Toronto Raptors made roster moves by releasing five players over the weekend and transitioning center Nate Bittle to a two-way contract. Standing at seven feet tall and hailing from Central Point, Oregon, Bittle led the team with averages of 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds in 25 games during his final year at Oregon.
The players let go by the Raptors include forward Tyson Degenhart, center Jamarion Sharp, and guards Nimari Burnett, Jalen Celestine, and Tyreke Key, as announced by the NBA franchise. The team is gearing up for their upcoming regular-season opener against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
