Raptors' Jamal Shead: Cleared to play
Shead (hamstring) is available for Friday's preseason finale against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Won't return Tuesday
Shead left Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics due to left hamstring tightness and will not return, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
The rookie has looked solid thus far in the preseason, and he has made a case to carve out a role off the bench behind Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Davion Mitchell. Shead will not return Tuesday, though the club is likely just being cautious with the 22-year-old ahead of the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Nets.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Another productive performance
Shead recorded 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and a steal across 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 115-111 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Shead has been using the preseason as an opportunity to carve out a depth role at point guard behind Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Davion Mitchell. There's no question the rookie is taking advantage of every minute he has on the court. Shead is a player worth targeting in deep dynasty formats. However, he's not expected to have a steady role in the rotation once the regular season begins for Toronto against the Cavaliers on Oct. 23, so his upside in standard formats will be minimal.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Three steals vs. Washington
Shead tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists and three steals over 17 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
Shead saw extended playing time off the bench as Immanuel Quickley (thumb) and Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) both sat out Sunday's game. Shead was one of five Toronto reserves to score in double digits, and he was responsible for three of the Raptors' eight steals. Shead will use the preseason as an opportunity to carve out a depth role at point guard behind Quickley and Davion Mitchell.

Raptors' Jamal Shead: Heading to Toronto
Shead was selected by the Kings with the No. 45 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was then traded to the Raptors along with Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov and a 2025 second-round pick in exchange for Jaden McDaniels, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.
Shead played four collegiate seasons at Houston and was especially solid as a playmaker during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 31.1 minutes per game. The six-foot guard is touted as an excellent on-ball defender but isn't particularly reliable from beyond the arc. If he can develop his shot a bit more at the professional level, Shead could carve out a decent career as a backup point guard.
