• Three Standouts from the Raptors’ 2026 Summer League performance

  20-07-2026 16:43
  
  Unfortunately, the Toronto Raptors missed the Summer League playoffs by just five points, but let’s be honest, that isn’t what anyone will remember from this week. Summer League is about one thing: finding out which players could have value.Whether it’s a draft pick proving he belongs, a veteran fighting for another NBA opportunity or an undrafted player trying to earn a contract, this is where first impressions are made.Toronto had plenty of positives during its 3-1 run, but t

• Quick Reaction: Nuggets 96, Raptors 89

  Nimari Burnett | Grade: B+He was probably Toronto’s best player remaining. He plays with real confidence in what he needs to do to improve a play around him. He had a very clean drive and spray through the defence, though it didn’t result in points. He cut well from the top of the key on a teammate’s drive and hung in the air to draw free throws. Great body control on his last steps after he picks up his dribble. He plays impressive defence. It’s no surprise he was a

  The Toronto Raptors were only a few points short of making the Summer League playoffs (or a missed buzzer-beating triple from the Boston Celtics). So instead, they’ll face the Denver Nuggets tonight in their consolation game.
  The Raptors have been exceptionally fun. Allen Graves, especially, has been on fire. For the Nuggets, Trevon Brazile has been quite solid, shooting the lights out for a big. The Raptors will be favoured, but the Nuggets have some NBA talent on their team, too.Raptors

• Tempo outmuscled by Dream’s star frontcourt

  18-07-2026 03:52
  
  TORONTO — The Toronto Tempo have often been outmuscled, out-rebounded, and overmatched in paint of late, and had a tall task in the Atlanta Dream frontcourt of Angel Reese and Brionna Jones on Friday.It was ultimately more of the same, as another steep deficit in paint scoring and rebounding were once again too great to overcome, and the Tempo fell 111-92 to the Dream at Coca-Cola Coliseum.In their last game, the Tempo also scored a season-low 62 points against the Washington Mystics.Their

I liked his pick-and-roll creation early on, as the Raptors had him handling with Chucky Hepburn out with injury.

  The Toronto Raptors are taking on the Miami Heat in their fourth summer league game tonight. Injuries have hindered Toronto’s summer league roster, with Collin Murray-Boyles and Alijah Martin being sidelined in every game, but they have persevered due to some riveting play from the rest of their roster. Players like Nate Bittle, and Seth Lundy, as well as first-round draft pick Allen Graves have stepped up immensely and have led Toronto to a positive record thus far in summer league.

• Is Nate Bittle what the Raptors have been searching years for?

  Samson Folk details Nate Bittle’s performance on the Raptors.From the QR‘s:
  “Nate Bittle | Grade: C+19 MIN, 9 PTS, 6 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 4-7 FG, 1-4 3PT,  0-0 FT, 2 TO, 0 +/-It was good to see Bittle stay confident from deep, especially after missing his first few attempts. He didn’t let that stop him, and eventually knocked down a big three late in the third quarter to give Toronto the lead. The biggest issue tonight was staying on the floor. Bittle picked up

It was a classic “do a little bit of everything” game from the Raptors’ first-round pick. In the first half, he turned back the clock and showcased his playmaking talents from when he played point guard back in his high school days, creating for teammates and leading the team with six assists.

• Graves’ hustle helps Raptors eke out win over Pacers

  As the Raptors remained without Summer League roster headliners Collin Murray-Boyles and Alijah Martin on Monday, and Chucky Hepburn missed his first game in Las Vegas with knee soreness, the Raptors’ other marquee player — 19th overall selection Allen Graves — remained as advertised.
  In the first quarter, Nate Bittle missed a 3, and Graves desperately dove for the offensive rebound the way a keeper dives to stop a goal in footy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a playe
