Jamal Shead News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

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.

Impact Shead scored at least 14 points for the second time in the past three games, albeit in a losing effort. With Immanuel Quickley missing 16 of the final 19 games, Shead was handed a starting role, at least periodically. In 13 appearances over the final month, he averaged 7.9 points, 5.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers. Moving forward, it appears as though Shead will likely serve as a backup, providing deeper league value for anyone needing assists.
