Raptors To Sign And Waive Ashton Hagans, Breein Tyree

The Raptors intend to sign and waive point guard Ashton Hagans and combo guard Breein Tyree, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.

Hagans, 22, is 6-foot-3 and went undrafted out of Kentucky in 2020. He signed a two-way deal with the Timberwolves last season, but was released in February after violating the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols.

As Murphy noted, Hagans was a member of the Raptors’ summer squad, but missed time with an ankle injury.

Tyree, 23, is 6-2 and went undrafted out of Mississippi in 2020. He spent last season with Raptors 905 of the G League.

“(Tyree) is a returning 905er who gets a bonus this way,” Murphy wrote. “He’s working his way back from a torn ACL.”
