Former Duke basketball star Justise Winslow found another NBA home on Saturday.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Winslow signed a 10-day contract with Toronto after spending time with the Raptors’ G League team.
Winslow spent one season with the Blue Devils in 2014-15, but he made his freshman campaign count. He averaged 12.6 points. 6.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game and helped lead Duke to its fifth national championship. He also contributed 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game on the defensive end, and he was drafted by Miami with the 10th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft.
Toronto will be Winslow’s fifth NBA team in his nine-year professional career. He spent five seasons with the Heat before playing with the Grizzlies, Clippers, and Trail Blazers.
His best season as a pro came in 2018-19 with Miami, when he averaged 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. He started 52 games that season, the only year he’s been named a starter more than 25 times.
