The Toronto Raptors have signed Andre Jackson Jr. to compete for a roster spot in training camp. Jackson, a former second-round pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, had a modest season last year, averaging 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds over 48 games. His shooting was inconsistent, and he faces competition from several guards on the Raptors' roster. The signing comes as the organization grapples with potential setbacks regarding Kawhi Leonard's situation and seeks to enhance their roster ahead of the new season.
