The Toronto Raptors have signed guard Kobi Simmons to a 10-day contract, as reported by Hoops Rumors and Globalnews.ca. The six-foot-five combo guard has been playing for the Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League affiliate, where he has been putting up impressive numbers, averaging 15.1 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game. Simmons, who went undrafted in 2017 out of Arizona, previously had stints with teams like the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Charlotte Hornets.
With the Raptors currently dealing with a slew of injuries, including key players like Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, and RJ Barrett, the addition of Simmons provides some much-needed depth to the roster. Toronto is in the midst of a challenging season, sitting at 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23-48. Despite a 10-game losing streak, the Raptors are looking to use these experimental signings to build for the future.
Simmons’ 10-day contract will run through April 2, giving him a limited window to showcase his skills and potentially earn a longer-term deal with the team. As the Raptors continue to navigate their remaining games in the regular season, Simmons’ contributions could play a crucial role in their lineup.
