The Raptors have signed guard Alijah Martin to a two-way contract, the team announced today in a press release.
Toronto selected Martin 39th overall in last month’s draft after the 23-year-old helped Florida win a national championship in 2024/25.
Martin, who spent four years at Florida Atlantic prior to transferring to Florida, appeared in 38 games for the Gators last season, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals in 30.4 minutes per contest. He posted a shooting slash line of .452/.350/.761.
As our list of 2025 NBA draft pick signings shows, all of the second-round picks who were selected before Martin signed standard contracts with their respective teams. However, four of the six picks who were taken directly after the 6’2″ guard received two-way contracts, and now Martin has joined that group as well.
On his new two-way deal, Martin is eligible to be active in 50 of Toronto’s 82 regular season games next season. He will earn $636,435 in 2025/26, half of the rookie minimum.
Martin fills the Raptors’ third and final two-way spot, joining Ulrich Chomche and Chucky Hepburn.
I’d have liked to see the Knicks get him as a deep reserve. His energy and defense, along with his knack for drawing the foul inside would’ve been nice. Change of pace player for chaotic defense when needed.
Meh
Stud. Watch.
