The Toronto Raptors have added their resident sharpshooter back into the fold.
Jamison Battle was recalled by the Raptors on Saturday after a one-game stint in the G League, the team announced.
Battle, 24, was assigned to the G League for the first time this season on Friday and played in the Raptors 905’s win over the Windy City Bulls. The six-foot-seven wing scored 22 points and shot 6-of-13 from three-point range.
In his sophomore season with the Raptors, Battle has averaged 3.1 points per game while shooting a team-high 41.5 per cent from three. He shot 40.5 per cent from deep during his first season, which ranked second among all rookies.
Yet despite his shooting talent, Battle has been a DNP-CD — did not play, coach’s decision — in four of the Raptors’ last 10 games. In the six games he touched the floor, Battle averaged only 6.7 minutes.
Battle was signed by Toronto after going undrafted in 2024, and earned a two-way spot after shooting a combined 17-of-29 (58.6 per cent) from three between Summer League and the pre-season in 2024-25.
He was later converted to a standard contract after the trade deadline as he continued to shoot the lights out.
Battle’s next chance to make an impact for the Raptors will come on Sunday when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 3:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. PT.
