Raptors waive Shamorie Ponds, open two-way roster spot

The Toronto Raptors have announced that they are waiving guard Shamorie Ponds, who was on one of the team’s two available two-way contract spots.

Waiving Ponds opens up one of those spots (the other is currently held by Oshae Brissett). A report late yesterday indicated that the Raptors were going to bring Paul Watson aboard, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Per source, the Hawks are waiving Paul Watson (currently on a 10-day) and he’s expected to sign a two-way with the Toronto Raptors.
