Posts double-double in win Boucher had 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 114-82 win over the Jazz.

Impact Boucher led the Raptors in scoring in this preseason debut and was the only player who ended with a double-double. He signed a three-year, $35 million contract in the offseason and should continue to see roughly 20 minutes per game off the bench as an option at both power forward and center.

Staying in Toronto Boucher and the Raptors agreed Thursday to a three-year, $35.25 million contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Boucher had a bit of a down year last season compared to his 2020-21 campaign, but he's still shown promise as a three-and-D big. Over the past two campaigns, he's averaged 11.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks while hitting 1.1 threes at 34.1 percent across 22.5 minutes. The 29-year-old will presumably continue playing a similar role.

Big double-double in Game 6 Boucher amassed 25 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 132-97 loss to Philadelphia.

Leads Raptors in loss Boucher closed Sunday's 105-94 loss to the Knicks with 21 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes.

Impact Boucher came off the bench in the regular-season finale but had a bigger role due to the fact that most starters were rested. He logged more than 30 minutes for the first time since late March and responded with his third-best scoring output of the campaign. Pascal Siakam should be back in the lineup for the postseason series against the 76ers, but Boucher should still be an option off the bench even if his fantasy upside isn't very high.
