Jamison Battle enters the game for the Toronto Raptors with the team down 12 points to the Philadelphia 76ers. The two-game series saw the Raptors take the first leg behind some late-game heroics. Battle saw 15 minutes, close to a season-high, though he shot well. And as he enters the game in this second contest, he replaces Alijah Martin, who jaws with Joel Embiid the entire way to the bench, as the two pick up double technicals.

Jamison Battle deserves all the praise he can get. The Raptors took a chance on him as an older, undrafted prospect from the 2024 class, and when Toronto needed an offensive spark, Battle proved he was more than capable of knocking down the three. Battle finished his rookie campaign averaging solid stats: 7.1 points on 42.9% shooting, a stellar 40.5% from three, 88.9% from the free-throw line, and 2.7 rebounds.
