Free agent forward Juancho Hernangómez is finalizing a one-year deal with the Raptors, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Hernangómez played for three teams during the 2021–22 season: the Celtics, Spurs and Jazz. He took on his biggest role in Utah, averaging 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds, while shooting 43.8% from three in 17 games with the franchise.
Hernangómez, a first-round pick in the 2016 NBA draft, will return to the league as a fan favorite after starring in the Netflix movie Hustle alongside Adam Sandler as “Bo Cruz,” an aspiring basketball prospect from Spain.
