The Warriors are moving backup center Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Raptors, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Golden State will receive a 2026 second-round pick that originally belonged to the Lakers.
Jackson-Davis, 25, played rotation minutes over his first two seasons but saw his role shrink this year. He appeared in 36 games, averaging 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per night.
He is earning $2.2 million this season, with a $2.4 million team option for 2026–27.
Toronto adds frontcourt depth using the roster space created by its earlier trade involving Ochai Agbaji, while staying out of the luxury tax.
The Raptors explored several other big-man options, including Yves Missi, Day’Ron Sharpe and Goga Bitadze, but each would have required a first-round pick, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports.
For Golden State, the move creates added roster flexibility. Along with the trade sending Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta, it positions the Warriors to eventually convert two-way guard Pat Spencer to a standard contract, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
