- Head coach Darko Rajaković finalized his 2026-27 coaching staff on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, announcing the moves in a team release.
- Stephen Silas was added to the front bench as an assistant coach alongside Pat Delany and Jama Mahlalela to bolster game planning and in-game adjustments.
- Matt Vest was promoted from the video/player-development group to assistant coach and Jeremy Castleberry returned after stints with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Raptors' 2018-19 championship staff.
- The Raptors confirmed a broader investment in player development and video work by adding Stephane Ingo, Isiah Price, Aidan Wilson and retaining staff such as Ivo Simović, Vin Bhavnani, Eric Khoury, Jim Sann and Mery Andrade.
- Silas brings roughly 25 NBA seasons and recent USA Basketball success, and the new staff is intended to help Rajaković manage higher expectations and looming rotation decisions with Kawhi Leonard back in the fold.
