TORONTO – The Toronto Raptors have signed guard Jamal Shead to a multi-year, contract extension, the NBA team announced Thursday.
Terms were not disclosed, but Shead’s agent KJ Smith reposted an ESPN report of the deal to his X account that said the extension was worth US$24-million over three years.
The extension keeps Shead in Toronto through the 2029-30 season.
Shead, an undersized guard who has turned heads with his tenacious defence, is entering his third season in Toronto.
The Raptors acquired Shead in a trade with Sacramento a day after the Kings selected him in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft.
He averaged 6.6 points, 5.4 assists and 0.9 rebounds while appearing in all 82 regular-season games (12 starts) in 2025-26.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 1, 2026.
