The Toronto Raptors have officially signed center Colin Castleton, as announced on Sunday. Although the specifics of the contract remain undisclosed, Castleton previously signed two 10-day contracts with the Raptors back in March, followed by a similar contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. This season, he has played 25 games, averaging 4.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in just over 16 minutes on the court.

Standing at six feet eleven inches and weighing 250 pounds, Castleton has shown potential by scoring in double figures three times and recording 10 or more rebounds in three games. Notably, he achieved a career-high of 16 points against the Atlanta Hawks last Friday, and he also set a personal record with 14 rebounds in his first career start against the 76ers, as well as during a match against the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers are facing crucial roster challenges as they head into their season finale against the Chicago Bulls. Following a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the team will be without both Jeff Dowtin Jr. and Colin Castleton, who recently concluded his 10-day contract with the Sixers. Castleton, who made a notable impact off the bench with 16 points and eight rebounds in his last game, has signed a standard deal with the Toronto Raptors, having previously played for them this season.

Coach Nick Nurse praised Castleton for his hard work and ability to rebound effectively, hinting at his potential for contributing in subsequent games. With the uncertainty surrounding the availability of players like Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Alex Reese, the Sixers must strategize quickly to fill the gaps in their lineup as they prepare for their final match.

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Colin Castleton to a 10-day contract, filling the roster spot left by Marcus Bagley. Castleton, a 6-foot-10 center, has been a part of the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors this season, averaging 4.2 points and 4.2 rebounds across 20 games.

During his time with the Raptors, he notably contributed to their victory over the 76ers, posting career highs of 14 rebounds and 3 blocks in that game. Previously, as a two-way player for the Los Angeles Lakers, Castleton showcased potential in the G League, averaging 18.2 points and 10.5 rebounds in 19 games, proving to be a versatile addition to the Sixers' lineup.

The Philadelphia 76ers are bringing in Colin Castleton on a 10-day contract as they navigate a challenging season plagued by injuries. With key players sidelined, including Andre Drummond, the team's depth has been tested. Castleton, who has had stints with the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors, averaged 4.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 20 games this season. This move aims to provide coach Nick Nurse with more options as the playoffs approach.
