The team has signed French centre Olivier Sarr, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team has signed French centre Olivier Sarr, the team announced Friday.
