The Toronto Raptors have agreed to a two-year deal with forward Stanley Johnson, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Johnson split last season between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Detroit Pistons.
Johnson, 23, is a tough, physical perimeter defender that came on strong throughout his rookie campaign but his development stagnated in Detroit. He’ll get an opportunity to continue his growth on a team that’s excelled at developing players at his position.
Johnson averaged 6.9 points in 18.3 minutes per game for the two teams in 2018-19. He’ll earn a total of $7.5 million through 2020-21 on his new deal.
