The Toronto Raptors have announced that they have exercised the team options for both forward Collin Murray-Boyles and guard Ja’Kobe Walter.
The options will be the third-year option for Murray-boyles, and the fourth-year option for Walter. The financial terms of the deals were not disclosed, and both players are now signed through the 2027-2028 season.
Murray-Boyles, who measures in at 6-foot-7 and 238 pounds, was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team last season after averaging 8.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists across 21.9 minutes in 57 games. The team notes that Murray-Boyles ranked second amongst rookies with a .579 field goal percentage, and was one of three rookies to record at least 50 blocks and 50 steals. He has also scored double digits 25 times, grabbed 10 or more rebounds six times, and posted four double doubles.
Walter, who measures in at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, averaged 7.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals across 20.5 minutes in 72 games last season, while shooting .446 from the field, and .409 from three. Walter, a native of McKinney, Texas, scored 10+ points 24 times last season, and started in only 19 games.
