Raptors Sign, Waive Jarkel Joiner

The Raptors signed free agent guard Jarkel Joiner to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (Twitter link). Toronto has since waived Joiner, per NBA.com’s transaction log.

Joiner, 26, has spent his first two professional seasons playing for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League since going undrafted out of NC State in 2023. In 48 games for Atlanta’s NBAGL affiliate in 2024/25, he averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .412/.332/.720.

The Raptors 905  – Toronto’s G League affiliate – acquired Joiner’s returning rights from the Skyhawks in a trade last month. That means, assuming Joiner signs another NBAGL contract this fall, he’ll report to the Raptors’ affiliate rather than to College Park.

By signing him to an Exhibit 10 deal and then waiving him, Toronto also ensures that Joiner will receive a bonus on top of his standard G League salary, as long as he spends at least 60 days with the 905. That bonus can be worth up to $85,300.

Joiner is the third player to be signed-and-waived by the Raptors this week, joining Quincy Guerrier and Tyreke Key. All three are now on track to join the 905.
