Impact Shead's 13 points led all Raptors bench players Wednesday, and his seven dimes were tied with Immanuel Quickley for most on the team. It was Shead's first double-digit scoring effort of the season, and he'll continue to lead Toronto's second unit as the backup to Quickley.

In line to play Wednesday Shead (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Chicago.

Impact Shead sat out Friday's preseason finale but isn't dealing with an injury ahead of the regular-season opener. He's expected to operate as Immanuel Quickley's primary backup in 2026-27.

Won't play in Friday's preseason game Shead will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Strong defensive showing Shead finished with four points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two steals, two blocks and one rebound in 21 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 preseason loss to New York.

Impact Despite continued shooting woes, Shead got it done on the defensive end of the floor, racking up four combined steals and blocks. Although he did manage to finally land a three-pointer, it would appear as though anyone considering Shead with a flier pick in drafts shouldn't be hoping for too much in terms of offensive output. At best, he could be utilized as a steals specialist, with some upside in assists.

Fails to hit three in solid outing Shead registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two assists, one rebound and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 preseason win over the Clippers.

Impact Shead was more efficient than he was during the preseason opener, but he still failed to hit a three-pointer, making him 0-for-6 through two games. While Shead is slated for a backup role behind Immanuel Quickley, his defensive presence off the bench will be a key part of the Raptors' success this season.
