The Toronto Raptors have quickly secured A.J. Lawson on a two-way contract, filling the gap left by D.J. Carton’s recent waiver. Lawson, a native of Toronto, has made a notable impact in the G League with the Long Island Nets, averaging 24 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists this season.

At six-foot-six, Lawson has demonstrated his scoring prowess, notably scoring 37 points against the Raptors 905. His journey has included stints with several teams, and he now joins a roster with other Canadian players.
