Toronto Raptors Comment on Latest Jakob Poeltl Extension

On Tuesday in Toronto, the Raptors announced that Austrian center Jakob Poeltl has agreed to a contract extension spanning several years.
The extension follows Poeltl's return to the Raptors via trade in 2023 after originally being drafted ninth overall in 2016 and traded to San Antonio in 2018.
Poeltl posted personal bests last season with averages of 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals across 57 games, while making 62.7 percent of his field goal attempts.
Raptors GM Bobby Webster said Poeltl has become one of the league's top two-way centers and praised his leadership on and off the floor.
Poeltl declared, "I want to be a Raptor for life" and acknowledged the team's young core, expressing readiness to take the next step together.
