Game-high nine dimes in finale Shead ended Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Spurs with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and nine assists in 36 minutes.
Impact The rookie second-rounder handed out a game-high nine dimes in Sunday's regular-season finale, continuing to show promise as a playmaker in a starting capacity. Shead averaged 10.4 points, 6.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes over 11 games as a starter this season. However, he shot just 37.5 percent from the field during this span, so the Raptors hope Shead will experience some improvement in his shooting efficiency during his second season in 2025-26.

Impact As expected, Shead will draw another start due to an Immanuel Quickley rest day. Over his last 15 games (seven starts), Shead has averaged 10.5 points, 5.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 24.1 minutes per game.

Impact Shead didn't start Friday's loss, as Immanuel Quickley was in the starting lineup, but that didn't prevent the former Houston standout from making an impact on offense when he was on the court. This was Shead's sixth game with at least nine assists as a rookie, and he's already dished out the second-most assists as a first-year player in franchise history, according to Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun. Shead is ending the campaign on a strong note considering his role. He's averaging 11.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game over his last 10 appearances (four starts).
