The Raptors 905 announced today that they’ve acquired centre Shevon Thompson from the Lakeland Magic via trade. In return, the 905 send the returning rights of Scott Suggs.
For some context: the 905 presumed to have a centre in Edy Tavares at the start of the year. But after just one game, Tavares signed overseas, leaving Kennedy Meeks to fill that position.
With Meeks now leaving for Team USA’s FIBA AmeriCup team, the 905 were down to just Andre Washington as a centre for the next two weeks. That’s the thinking behind today’s move to bring Thompson in.
