Jamal Shead has secured a new contract extension with the Toronto Raptors just two years after being selected with the 45th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-1 guard established himself as an important contributor off the bench during the 2025-26 season, appearing in all 82 regular-season games.
Shead recorded 354 assists as a reserve, leading the entire NBA in that category while also setting a Raptors franchise record for a bench player.
He continued contributing in the postseason, averaging 9 points, 5 assists and 1.4 steals across seven playoff appearances, including four starts.
