Top Jamal Shead News

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Solid numbers off bench Monday

    Shead finished Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 12 minutes.

    Shead made the most of his minutes off the bench. The rookie was perfect from the field and made his presence felt as a playmaker and rebounder while logging just 12 minutes. The Raptors will probably rely on RJ Barrett to run the offense going forward, but Shead could get a bigger role since the team is missing both Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) due to injuries.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Recalled to parent club

    Toronto recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday.

    Shead has played an average of 12.0 minutes over his last three NBA appearances, so he's likely to get more reps with the 905 in the near future.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Assigned to G League

    The Raptors assigned Shead to the G League's Raptors 905 on Friday.

    Shead tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Toronto's most recent outing before being assigned to the G League. However, the rookie guard has been a consistent member of the NBA club's rotation, so he will likely only be with the Raptors 905 for a short period.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Returns to parent club

    The Raptors recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday.

    Shead posted 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists and six rebounds in 38 minutes for the Raptors 905 during Sunday's 119-114 G League loss to the Westchester Knicks. Shead has been a fringe rotation player at the NBA level with an average of 14.1 minutes across 23 appearances. He'll be back in Toronto for Monday's game against the Knicks, but he won't be guaranteed to get any minutes while the contest is competitive.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Headed to G League on Sunday

    Shead was assigned to the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Shead scored just eight points over his last four outings and was a healthy DNP for Saturday's 125-118 loss to the Mavericks. He'll get more playing time in the G League, and across two games with Raptors 905, he's averaged 8.5 points, 12.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds over 23.9 minutes per game.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Held scoreless Thursday

    Shead recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 12 minutes in Thursday's 129-92 loss to the Thunder.

    Shead ended up playing in a doubleheader Thursday, as he suited up for the G League's Raptors 905 earlier in the day in a 134-92 win over the Swarm, finishing with six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 assists and two rebounds across 21 minutes. The rookie then rejoined the parent club later Thursday, though he was unproductive in limited playing time during the blowout. In his last five NBA outings, Shead averaged 3.2 points and 1.8 assists over 9.6 minutes per game.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Muted role continues

    Shead closed Tuesday's 122-111 win over Indiana with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 10 minutes.

    Shead saw just 10 minutes in the win, another in a string of underwhelming performances. After scoring double-digits in the first two games of the season, Shead has since failed to score more than eight points in any contest. At this point, the only chance Shead has to play meaningful minutes is if the Raptors opt to change course and lean into their youth.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Returns to NBA

    The Raptors recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Friday.

    Shead recorded 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 13 assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block in 27 minutes during his G League season debut Friday for the 905 in a loss to the Long Island Nets. Now that he's back with the parent club, Shead could see light minutes as reserve guard in the Raptors' next game Sunday at Cleveland.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Heads to locker room

    Shead was spotted walking to the locker room after suffering an apparent wrist injury during Monday's game against the Pacers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Shead went to the locker room with a few minutes remaining in the third quarter, and the severity of the injury has yet to be determined. He went down hard after falling on a contested shot at the rim. The Raptors would likely lean heavily on Davion Mitchell the rest of the way if Shead can't return considering the team's next option at point guard, D.J. Carton (ankle), is also out.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Checks back in

    Shead (wrist) has returned to Monday's game against Indiana, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Shead's stay in the locker room didn't last long, as he was spotted on the bench with tape on his wrist at the end of the third quarter before checking in for the start of the fourth. It'll be worth keeping an eye on the team's injury report following Monday's game to see if his wrist issue lingers.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Dishes out career-high nine assists

    Shead logged seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 loss to the Hornets.

    Shead has seen increased playing time to start the season with Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) sidelined. The 22-year-old guard led Toronto in assists while coughing up just one turnover. Shead is averaging 8.2 points, 5.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes across five appearances to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Turns ball over seven times

    Shead recorded 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 25 minutes in Friday's 115-107 win over the 76ers. He also turned the ball over seven times.

    With Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and rookie first-round pick Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) sitting out Friday, Davion Mitchell took his spot in the starting five, but Shead ended up seeing more playing time of the two guards despite coming off the bench. Shead provided some decent counting statistics during his time on the floor, but the seven turnovers made his output much less valuable in points leagues and nine-category leagues. Despite the sloppy outing, the rookie second-round pick should continue to hold down a rotation spot while the Raptors are short on capable ball handlers with Quickley and Walter sidelined.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Solid debut off bench

    Shead totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 136-106 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Shead turned a few heads with his play during the preseason, and he managed to show that in the regular season as well with a strong debut in his first taste of competitive action at the NBA level. Shead is not expected to play a meaningful role off the bench for Toronto, but he could be in line to see more minutes than initially expected if Immanuel Quickley is forced to miss time after sustaining a right pelvic contusion in Wednesday's season opener.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Cleared to play

    Shead (hamstring) is available for Friday's preseason finale against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The rookie appears to have avoided a significant injury after leaving Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics due to left hamstring tightness. After a productive preseason, Shead will have one more shot to prove himself before the regular season starts.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Won't return Tuesday

    Shead left Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics due to left hamstring tightness and will not return, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

    The rookie has looked solid thus far in the preseason, and he has made a case to carve out a role off the bench behind Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Davion Mitchell. Shead will not return Tuesday, though the club is likely just being cautious with the 22-year-old ahead of the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Nets.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Another productive performance

    Shead recorded 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and a steal across 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 115-111 preseason loss to the Celtics.

    Shead has been using the preseason as an opportunity to carve out a depth role at point guard behind Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Davion Mitchell. There's no question the rookie is taking advantage of every minute he has on the court. Shead is a player worth targeting in deep dynasty formats. However, he's not expected to have a steady role in the rotation once the regular season begins for Toronto against the Cavaliers on Oct. 23, so his upside in standard formats will be minimal.

  • Raptors' Jamal Shead: Three steals vs. Washington

    Shead tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists and three steals over 17 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards.

    Shead saw extended playing time off the bench as Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) both sat out Sunday's game. Shead was one of five Toronto reserves to score in double digits, and he was responsible for three of the Raptors' eight steals. Shead will use the preseason as an opportunity to carve out a depth role at point guard behind Quickley and Davion Mitchell.
