Raptors win might be last call for Jeff Dowtin Jr.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Jeff Dowtin Jr.’s NBA season may be over.

Dowtin was active for his 50th NBA game this season in Toronto’s 120-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets, the maximum allowed for a player on a two-way deal.

Because the Raptors haven’t waived anyone to create a roster spot for Dowtin to fill if Toronto wants to convert his two-way deal to a full NBA contract, he will not be eligible to play in Boston on Wednesday night.

And unless the Raptors waive someone by Thursday, Dowtin will be ineligible for next week’s play-in games or the NBA playoffs, if the Raptors make them.
