Here’s an interesting move: on Wednesday afternoon the Toronto Raptors released forward Sagaba Konate, trimming their roster to 19 players, and looking for all the world like there was to be a mass exodus of players over the weekend to get the team’s roster down to 15 (plus, presumably a pair of two-way contracts). Instead, that didn’t happen.
This morning the Raptors announced they have signed guard Matt Morgan to a deal, bringing their roster back up to the maximum 20 players. For a team staring down the start of the NBA season on Tuesday, it reads like a bit of a curious move.
