Raptors waive Dewan Hernandez
Josh Lewenberg: The Raptors have waived Dewan Hernandez. His contract is non-guaranteed for this season and would have become fully guaranteed on Sunday.
Austin Kent: Dewan Hernandez is with the Raptors and expecting to play when the league resumes later this month. The rookie center suffered a severe right ankle sprain in December and missed the team’s final 37 games before the shutdown.
Doug Smith: According to mid-day injury report, no Gasol (hamstring), Hollis-Jefferson (ankle), Miller (neck sprain) or Hernandez (ankle) for the Raptors in Detroit tonight
The remainder of the midlevel was used on sharpshooter Matt Thomas and second-round pick Dewan Hernandez, which might surprise some. Both players signed partially guaranteed three-year deals for the minimum salary. (Thomas has a fully guaranteed $900,000 for 2019-20, $725,000 guaranteed for 2020-21 and no guarantee for 2021-22. Hernandez has $500,000 guaranteed for 2019-20 and no guarantee beyond that.) The minimum salary exception — which allows teams to fill out rosters with minimum salaries if they’re over the cap — only allows for deals up to two years in length. To tack on a third year, the Raptors had to dip into their midlevel.
