Tyson Degenhart is off the Toronto Raptors roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18. The move follows a Saturday report that the Raptors waived five players after converting Nate Bittle to a two-way contract.
The move
Tyson Degenhart, a 24-year-old rookie forward, is no longer with the Raptors as of Sunday, Oct. 18, according to the official roster. The move was preceded by a Saturday, Oct. 17 report from Blake Murphy, titled "Raptors Convert Nate Bittle To Two-Way, Waive Five Players," with confidence not listed. Degenhart is now off the roster entirely.
The money
Degenhart's contract is not on file yet, since public salary data can lag a signing or move by a day. The Raptors carry $202.5 million in payroll across 15 contracts for 2026-27, putting them over the luxury tax. The 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
Degenhart has no NBA line from last season. Toronto's rotation last season ran through Brandon Ingram (33.8 minutes, 21.5 points), Scottie Barnes (33.5 minutes, 18.1 points), Immanuel Quickley (31.9 minutes, 16.4 points), RJ Barrett (30.3 minutes, 19.3 points) and Jakob Poeltl (25.0 minutes, 10.7 points), with Jamal Shead, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles also logging minutes. The Raptors now carry 16 players on the roster, one above the standard 15-man limit plus three two-way slots.
