"Rhoden has seemingly been on the Raptors' radar for a while now, first being brought in for 2024 training camp before being cut prior to the season start, then joining Raptors 905 in December 2024, and later getting a shot to prove himself on a 10-day contract in February 2025, eventually earning a two-way deal with the team in early March 2025."
"Although Rhoden was a back-end reserve for the Raptors last season, he maximized the playing opportunities that opened up as Toronto embraced the tank, delivering two impressive showings against Philadelphia and Charlotte during that stretch. In fact, during that game against the 76ers on March 12, 2025, Rhoden logged a whopping 42 minutes and 46 seconds on the court, which, with all due respect to his talents, reflects the Raptors' focus at that point in the season - as they had their eyes set on the lottery."
"In late April, unfortunate news became apparent for Rhoden as the team announced he had undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum injury, which to me looked like the beginning of the end for his time in Toronto. Alas, as Josh Cornelissen would write, the Raptors chose to move on from Rhoden when they waived him on July 1, 2025. But wouldn't you know it, the Raptors once again brought Jared Rhoden back to the team after completing their training camp roster in late September."
Jared Rhoden joined the Raptors organization for 2024 training camp but was cut before the season, later signing with Raptors 905 in December 2024. He earned a 10-day contract in February 2025 and a two-way deal in early March 2025. Rhoden served as a back-end reserve who maximized opportunities during Toronto's tank, producing impressive performances against Philadelphia and Charlotte and logging 42 minutes, 46 seconds on March 12, 2025 against the 76ers. He underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in late April and was waived on July 1, 2025, before rejoining the team after late-September training camp; roster depth and recovery cast doubt on his long-term spot.
