Report: Raptors waive Ish Wainwright

According to a report from Blake Murphy, the Toronto Raptors have waived forward Ish Wainwright, leaving the roster at the maximum 15 players as the season opener approaches.

The Raptors have waived Ishmail Wainright.

He should have interest around the league as a positionally versatile defender and maybe the best person I’ve ever met around the sport.

As Murphy notes, Sam Dekker makes the roster, as does Isaac Bonga.

Wainwright played well in the last two preseason games, as did Dekker, making this a tough choice for Nick Nurse and co.
