Guard Kevin McCullar Jr., 25, joined the Toronto Raptors' roster on Thursday, Nov. 5, according to the official roster. His contract terms are not on file yet, and the move pushes the Raptors' roster to 17 players.
The move
Kevin McCullar Jr., a 25-year-old guard with two seasons of experience, joins the Toronto Raptors. He came from free agency, with no team on his record. The official roster showed him on Toronto on Thursday, Nov. 5. The terms of the move are not announced. The brief trail around the transaction wire includes one earlier item, from Friday, Oct. 23: Michael Scotto reported that Dalton Knecht would sign a two-way deal with the Knicks. That report concerns a different player and a different club, and no report linking McCullar to Toronto is on file.
The money
McCullar's contract is not on file yet. Public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and the length of the deal are not announced. The Raptors carry $201.2M across 14 contracts for 2026-27. That is over the luxury tax line of $200.4M, and the salary cap is $165.0M. The first apron sits at $209.0M and the second apron at $221.7M. Toronto is $8.5M more than the tax line gap to the first apron, which leaves it under both aprons.
The fit
McCullar has no NBA line this season. Toronto's guard rotation is led by Immanuel Quickley at 31.8 minutes and 17.4 points per game. Ja'Kobe Walter plays 29.1 minutes and scores 11.4 points. Jamal Shead adds 21.6 minutes and 5.5 points. Scottie Barnes leads the team at 33.3 minutes and 23.5 points, and RJ Barrett averages 32.6 minutes and 20.9 points. With McCullar, the roster stands at 17 players. The limit is 15 standard players plus 3 two-way players.
