Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet has apparently gotten his summer payday. According to both Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania and The Athletic’s Michael Scotto, VanVleet has agreed to return to the Raptors on a two-year, $18 million deal.
Here’s more from Scotto on the deal (via Twitter):
The Toronto Raptors and Fred VanVleet have agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal, league sources told The Athletic. No options are included in the deal. VanVleet was a finalist for the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award.
The deal was also reported via Twitter by Turner Sports’ David Aldridge.
Last season, VanVleet averaged 8.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game — all of which were career highs — as he emerged as one of the top backup guards in the NBA.
