Raptors Fill Final Two-Way Spot by Signing Malachi Smith

The move follows Jaden Bradley’s upgrade to a standard deal and points to Toronto's focus on three-point shooting and G League development.

Overview

The Raptors signed guard Malachi Smith to the club’s final two-way contract on Monday after converting Jaden Bradley’s two-way into a standard multi-year deal.
Smith is a 26-year-old undrafted guard who played for Gonzaga, Chattanooga and Wright State and spent multiple seasons in the G League before earning 15 NBA games with the Brooklyn Nets in 2025–26.
League sources reported that Smith averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists for Brooklyn while shooting 48.5% from the field and 43.5% from three-point range in those NBA appearances.
The signing fills Toronto’s three allotted two-way slots alongside Chucky Hepurn and Trey Jemison, leaves one standard roster spot open, and had no financial terms disclosed by the team or reporting outlets.
Two-way contracts let a player split time between the Raptors and their G League affiliate, Raptors 905, so Smith is expected to provide perimeter shooting depth for Toronto while continuing his development in the G League.
