Impact Freeman-Liberty got the start Friday with Gary Trent (back) sidelined.

Impact Gary Trent was a late addition to the injury report and ultimately won't play Friday, joining the rest of Toronto's usual starters on the bench.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless performance Monday Freeman-Liberty finished Monday's 125-119 loss to Denver with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 12 minutes.

Impact As a score-first guard, Freeman-Liberty failed to contribute much Monday, but he entered the contest having logged 18 minutes in three consecutive games, signifying a relevant rotation role for the 24-year-old. Freeman-Liberty is unlikely to build fantasy streaming appeal even if his role incrementally grows.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another dominant outing Freeman-Liberty submitted 24 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks over 28 minutes of Saturday's 90-85 win over the Wizards.

Impact Freeman-Liberty capped off an impressive Summer League with a game-high 24 points to go along with a team-high five assists Saturday. Despite putting up 21.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game this summer, Freeman-Liberty will have a tough time finding NBA playing time in 2023-24 with Alex Caruso, Jevon Carter and Coby White ahead of him on the depth chart.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Chicago for camp Freeman-Liberty signed a non-guaranteed training camp deal with the Bulls on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
