The Toronto Raptors continued to shore up their frontcourt on Monday, signing former Sacramento centre Alex Len.
Len signed a one-year deal, a person with knowledge of the deal said. No immediate financial terms of the deal were released.
The 27-year-old Ukrainian was selected No. 5 by the Phoenix Suns in the 2013 draft. He played five seasons with the Suns then two with Atlanta. He was acquired by the Kings in a trade last February along with Jabari Parker.
The seven-footer averaged 5.9 points in 15 games with Sacramento and shot 59.3 per cent from the field. He scored a career-high 33 points against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2019 and grabbed 19 rebounds versus Minnesota in 2017.
Len's signing is more good news for a Raptors team that lost NBA championship centres Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka over the weekend. Ibaka signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, while Gasol joined the Lakers.
