The Raptors have signed Olivier Sarr, reports Blake Murphy of Sportsnet (via Twitter). Murphy adds that the contract is an Exhibit 1o deal, which will allow Sarr to compete for a roster spot in training camp and receive a higher G League salary if he’s waived and joins the Raptors’ G League team.
Sarr played three seasons for the Thunder from 2021-2024, averaging 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game, and spent last season in the G League.
The Raptors recently extended Jakob Poeltl and signed Sandro Mamukelashvili to a minimum deal. They also drafted Collin Murray-Boyles this year and Jonathan Mogbo last year, both of whom can switch between center and forward spots. That leaves few minutes for the 26-year-old Sarr to compete for against two-way big man Ulrich Chomche.
Exhibit 10 contracts can be converted into two-way deals prior to the NBA regular season. A player who signs an Exhibit 10 contract also becomes eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with his team’s G League affiliate, so Lovering could end up joining the Memphis Hustle this fall.
