Raptors sign centre Olivier Sarr to Exhibit 10 contract


The team has signed French centre Olivier Sarr, the team announced Friday.

An Exhibit 10 contract will allow Sarr to participate in Raptors training camp and net him an elevated G League salary if he is waived and joins the Raptors 905.

The seven-foot big registered career-low averages of 2.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.5 blocks with the Oklahoma City Thunder last season.

Sarr, 24, has career averages of 4.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.6 blocks during his three years with the Thunder, but has seen his playing time dwindle each season.

The Niort, France, native will be facing an uphill battle for a roster spot, slotting in behind traditional bigs Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili and small-ball options Jonathan Mogbo and Collin Murray-Boyles on the depth chart.
