Toronto Raptors Acquire Davion Mitchell from Kings

Sasha Vezenkov, recently traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, is close to a four-year deal with Olympiacos in Greece, pending a contract buyout with the Raptors. Toronto acquired Vezenkov, along with Davion Mitchell and a draft pick, in exchange for Jalen McDaniels. Vezenkov, a 6-foot-8 forward owed $6.6 million for the upcoming NBA season, played 42 games for the Kings last season with modest statistics. The trade allows the Raptors to bolster their roster with Vezenkov's shooting and creating abilities while adding defensive strength with Mitchell, enhancing their depth for the future. Sacramento clears salary and gains flexibility through this trade, while Toronto sacrifices some cap space for immediate contributions from the acquired players.
