The Toronto Raptors agreed to a two-year deal with free-agent wing Svi Mykhailiuk, his agent told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Mykhailiuk's contract includes a player option for the second season, Charania adds.

The sharpshooter reportedly drew interest from several contenders before striking a deal with Toronto.

Mykhailiuk split last season between the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder. He performed well down the stretch for the Thunder, averaging 10.3 points, three boards, and 1.8 assists over 30 appearances.

The 24-year-old is a career 36.2% shooter from distance, and he should help a Raptors squad that finished 15th in 3-point percentage during the 2020-21 campaign.
