The Toronto Raptors intend to sign forward Freddie Gillespie to a 10-day contract, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania and Blake Murphy.
Gillespie, 23, played 15 games with the Memphis Grizzlies' G League affiliate this season, averaging 10.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game.
The 6-foot-9 Baylor product is expected to shore up the Raptors' frontcourt rotation and provide the team with some size on the glass. Toronto's 41.3 rebounds per game is a league-worst, and the club ranks third-last in rebounding percentage at 47.6%.
Gillespie went undrafted in the 2020 class before signing a training camp deal with the Dallas Mavericks. However, the team waived the forward before the start of the season.
