The Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement with veteran guard Garrett Temple on a one-year contract worth $3.6 million.
While the full value of the deal reflects Temple’s veteran experience, it is structured as a minimum-salary contract, meaning it will only count for $2.3 million against the team’s salary cap due to league reimbursement rules for longtime veterans.
Temple, a 15-year NBA veteran, has been with the Raptors for the past two seasons, serving as a steady and respected presence within the organization.
Though his on-court contributions have been limited, appearing in just 55 games during his time in Toronto, Temple’s leadership and professionalism have made him a valuable asset in the locker room.
Coaches and teammates alike have praised him for his mentorship and role in helping younger players develop.
Re-signing Temple suggests the Raptors continue to prioritize veteran leadership and cultural stability as they transition into a new era with a younger core.
While Temple is unlikely to play major minutes, his presence off the court remains highly regarded by the organization.
