TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have waived guard-forward Joe Wieskamp, the team announced Monday.

The 23-year-old had signed a multi-year deal with Toronto on Feb. 11 after a pair of 10-day contracts in January.

Wieskamp appeared in nine games for the Raptors last season, totaling nine points, four rebounds and three assists in 50 minutes. He also played in the G League, having split time between the Wisconsin Herd and Raptors 905.

The six-foot-six, 205-pounder was most recently on Toronto’s Summer League team which went 1-4 and last played on Saturday, a 108-101 against the Golden State Warriors.

Wieskamp had a tough start but closed his stay in Las Vegas with a 27-point outing on 8-of-11 shooting in Saturday’s victory. In four games, he averaged 13.5 points on 42.8 per cent shooting from the field.
