Jamarion Sharp is on the Toronto Raptors roster as of the official listing on Tuesday, Oct. 13. The 25-year-old rookie center had been waived by the Clippers in September, according to a report from Jake Fischer.
The move
Jamarion Sharp, a 25-year-old rookie center, is on the Toronto Raptors roster as of Tuesday, Oct. 13, picked up from the official roster listing. He came from free agency, with no roster before this move. On Friday, Sep. 25, Jake Fischer reported the Clippers were waiving Sharp; a confidence level for that report is not announced.
The money
Sharp's contract is not on file yet, since public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Raptors carry $202.5 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, which puts them over the luxury tax. The salary cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Sharp has no NBA line from last season. He joins a Raptors frontcourt where Jakob Poeltl played 25.0 minutes and scored 10.7 points per game last season, with Sandro Mamukelashvili at 21.9 minutes and 11.2 points and Collin Murray-Boyles at 21.9 minutes and 8.5 points. The Raptors now carry 21 players on the roster, above the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
