Jamarion Sharp to Join Raptors and Compete for Two-Way Contract
Jamarion Sharp, a 25-year-old center, is signing with the Toronto Raptors and will compete for a two-way contract.
Toronto’s preseason roster is already at its 21-player limit, so the team must waive someone to add him.
Sharp played for the Raptors in Summer League, then signed a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in August and was waived in September.
He has played mainly for the Texas Legends in the G League since going undrafted in 2024.
In the 2025/26 season, he led the G League with 3.9 blocks per game and was named its Defensive Player of the Year.
Toronto’s three two-way spots are currently held by Chucky Hepburn, Trey Jemison and Malachi Smith, so one of them would need to be waived if Sharp earns a spot.
The team has not yet said whether Sharp will get the contract.
