NBA FREE AGENCY: Raptors exercise Bruce Brown’s $23 million team option

The NBA’s best-dressed player is staying in Toronto.

The Toronto Raptors locked up the final roster spot* by making its only free-agency move and bringing back Garrett Temple on a 1 year, $3.3 million deal. The 14-year veteran will continue as a vocal leader in the locker room and mentor to the young players.

*Assuming Jonathan Mogbo and Jamal Shead are signed, Temple would be Toronto’s 15th roster spot.

Some unprompted high praise from Scottie Barnes for Garrett Temple, says sitting beside GT and picking his brain while he’s been hurt has been huge and that watching him compete so hard on the floor has been inspiring, and that he’s learned from him as a leader.
