Winslow became an unrestricted free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Raptors expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The veteran forward didn't see any game action during his abbreviated stay with Toronto, and it's unclear if the Raptors will look to bring him back on a second 10-day deal. Before signing with the NBA team on Feb. 10, Winslow had appeared in 19 games with Toronto's G League affiliate, Raptors 905. In those contests, Winslow averaged 16.7 points (on 51.7 percent shooting from the field), 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 27.4 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Winslow totaled 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 35 minutes in Raptors 905's 116-106 loss to Greensboro on Tuesday.
Winslow signed a 10-day deal with the Raptors on Saturday, but he was back with 905 on Tuesday and was stellar in his first G League game since Feb. 3. The veteran forward appears to be over the illness that had caused him to miss 905's game against Long Island on Feb. 5, meaning he should be set to fill his typical robust frontcourt role.

Rotowire
Winslow agreed to a 10-day contract with the Raptors on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 2015 lottery pick will make his return to the NBA for the first time this season after he was cut by the Raptors following the preseason.

Trail Blazers' Justise Winslow: Gets additional procedure on ankle
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers announced Friday that Winslow (ankle) underwent a bone marrow aspirate concentrate procedure in March and will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks.
Winslow doesn't appear to have a firm timetable for his return at this point, and with the regular season just over three weeks away, the 26-year-old could struggle to gain clearance before the Trail Blazers' April 9 finale versus Golden State. He's been out of action since Dec. 21 and could require considerable ramp-up time once he's cleared for full-contact, full-court work.

Rotowire
Winslow (ankle) has yet to resume full-contact activity and remains out indefinitely, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Once he returns, he'll compete for reserve wing minutes with Cam Reddish, Matisse Thybulle and Nassir Little.

Trail Blazers' Justise Winslow: Out at least two weeks
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers announced Monday that Winslow will be re-evaluated in two weeks while he recovers from a Grade 2 left ankle sprain.
Winslow had already missed Portland's most recent game Friday in Denver after suffering the injury in the third quarter of a 101-98 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. Even if he's cleared to resume on-court work after the two-week re-evaluation period, Winslow will almost certainly require some additional ramp-up time in practice, so his absence is likely to extend into the back half of January. Keon Johnson and Trendon Watford profile as the biggest beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint while Winslow is sidelined.
