NBA Rumors: Toronto Raptors’ New Contract With Serge Ibaka ‘Basically Done’

With the NBA now well into the conference finals, the teams eliminated from the playoffs must consider their options entering the offseason. Teams like the Toronto Raptors, which equipped their team toward a playoff run, face uncertainties entering this offseason.

The top priority for the Raptors relies on point guard Kyle Lowry, who has already elected to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. However, the team also faces options regarding players like forward Serge Ibaka.

Ibaka was acquired halfway through the season via the Orlando Magic, as a bonafide rim protector alongside center Jonas Valanciunas.
