Javon Freeman-Liberty: Cut by Toronto
The Raptors waived Javon Freeman-Liberty on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.Only $100,000 of Freeman-Liberty's $1.89 million contract for the 2024-25 season was set to be fully guaranteed until Tuesday, so the Raptors will face limited financial ramifications by cutting him loose. Murphy relays that Freeman-Liberty is likely to receive interest from around the league as a two-way player, though he would first have to clear waivers before he's eligible to sign a new deal elsewhere. Freeman-Liberty spent the majority of the 2023-24 season as one of the Raptors' two-way players, appearing in 22 games at the NBA level while averaging 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18.3 minutes per contest.

This will depend on whether he continues as a starter, though.
