Toronto Raptors Sign Colin Castleton to 10-Day Deal
The Toronto Raptors are making moves, and their latest addition is big man Colin Castleton. The team has officially signed the 6-foot-11 center to a 10-day contract, giving them some added depth in the frontcourt. Castleton, who previously played for the Memphis Grizzlies this season, has been making waves in the G League, and now he’s getting another shot at the NBA level.
For those who may not be familiar with Castleton, he’s a skilled big who played college ball at Michigan and Florida before going undrafted in 2023. Since then, he’s been grinding, earning opportunities with both the Lakers and the Grizzlies on two-way deals. This season, he’s spent significant time in the NBA G League, where he’s been a standout performer. Across 26 games with the Osceola Magic and Memphis Hustle, Castleton has averaged an impressive 17.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while shooting over 52% from the field. He’s been a force on the boards and has shown the ability to score efficiently in the paint.

The Raptors have been focused on development this season, and adding Castleton fits that mindset perfectly. With Jakob Poeltl and Orlando Robinson in the rotation, Castleton may not see heavy minutes right away, but there’s a good chance he gets some run—especially as the team continues to evaluate younger talent. Given his strong performances in the G League, he could bring solid energy off the bench, particularly in second halves when the Raptors experiment with different lineups.
This signing also gives Toronto flexibility. With one open roster spot, Castleton will be available for at least the next five games. If he impresses, the team can offer him a second 10-day contract before deciding whether to keep him for the rest of the season.
For Castleton, this is another opportunity to prove he belongs at the NBA level. He’s shown flashes of potential, and now he’ll get a chance to showcase his skills on a bigger stage. The Raptors face the Utah Jazz next, and fans will be eager to see if Castleton gets his shot in the rotation. Stay tuned—this could be a key moment in his young career.
