Michael Grange: Worth pointing out that Jamison Battle was with the Raptors at practice today which means (no surprise) that the Raptors have picked up the team option on his deal for 2025-26. Good for him, great result for an undrafted guy who was a Summer League invite this time last summer.
Michael Granger: Raptors sweep season series vs. Sixers in with 127-109 win. RJ Barrett with 31-5-5. Ja’Kobe Walter with 17-8-4 and 3/5 on 3s; Jamison Battle with 16 and 7, with 4/8 from 3. Fellow rookies Jonathan Mogbo (13) and Jamal Shead (11) give Raptors four rookies in double figures for first time in franchise history.
But as far how this started, Shead claims he has no idea. He saw Temple dancing and decided to join him, and the rest of the rookies followed. “He was just dancin’, and I started grooving and J-Mo (Mogbo) was behind me and started groovin’ and JB (Battle) was behind him and started groovin’ and so on and so forth,” is Shead’s version. “I’ve seen some video, I think it’s pretty cool.” Said Walter: “Temp and Jamal were pretty hyped, so since we’re young guys we just followed along.”
Michael Scotto: The Toronto Raptors signed Jamison Battle to a three-year, $5.25 million deal, which is fully guaranteed this season, is 50 percent guaranteed for the 2025-26 season, and is non-guaranteed for the 2026-27 season, league sources told @hoopshype.

Blake Murphy: Jamison Battle's deal will be for the minimum the next two years, and only partially guaranteed. Wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors gave him a bit more than the minimum this year to entice the team-friendly 2025-26/2026-27 structure and reward him.
Shams Charania: The Toronto Raptors are converting two-way forward Jamison Battle to a three-year standard NBA deal, sources tell ESPN. The Ohio State product has averaged 5.4 points and 12.6 minutes for the Raptors this season.
Josh Lewenberg: Raptors have made final roster cuts, waiving Jared Rhoden, Jahmi’us Ramsey & Brenden Carlson. After a strong preseason, Jamison Battle is signing a 2-way contract (replacing Carlson). Bruno Fernando wins the 15th roster spot, giving them an extra big with Olynyk (back) banged up.
Josh Lewenberg: Gradey Dick (right ankle sprain) and Jonathan Mogbo (back contusion) remain out for the Summer Raptors. They’ll start Ja’Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji, Jamison Battle and Branden Carlson vs Miami tonight.
