Toronto Raptors rookie Jonathan Mogbo has been assigned to the G-League affiliate, Raptors 905, as the team prepares for a matchup against the Austin Spurs. This decision comes after a noticeable decrease in Mogbo's playing time, coinciding with the return of backup center Kelly Olynyk, who had been sidelined due to back spasms.
Mogbo, who was selected 31st overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, has played in 34 games this season, averaging 5.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in just over 16 minutes per game. His recent performance included a brief appearance of only 41 seconds during the Raptors' victory over the Brooklyn Nets, indicating his current limited role within the team.
