The Toronto Raptors have exercised their team option on forward Trayce Jackson-Davis for the 2026-27 NBA season, according to a report confirmed by multiple sources. The decision keeps the 26-year-old under contract through the next campaign.
Jackson-Davis, who joined the Raptors in a trade from the Golden State Warriors in February 2025, averaged 8.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game over 42 appearances with Toronto last season. His efficient shooting (62.1% from the field) and defensive versatility made him a valuable rotation piece.
The option was originally part of the four-year, $8.8 million rookie scale contract Jackson-Davis signed with the Warriors in 2023. The Raptors' decision locks in his salary for the 2026-27 season at approximately $2.2 million, providing cost-effective frontcourt depth.
Toronto's front office, led by president Masai Ujiri, has prioritized retaining young talent as the team continues its rebuild. Jackson-Davis, a second-round pick in 2023, has shown promise as a rim runner and shot blocker, fitting the Raptors' defensive identity.
The move comes as the Raptors prepare for the 2026-27 season, with training camp set to begin in September. Jackson-Davis is expected to compete for minutes behind starting center Jakob Poeltl.
