Jamal Shead News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Game-high nine dimes in finale Shead ended Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Spurs with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and nine assists in 36 minutes.

Impact The rookie second-rounder handed out a game-high nine dimes in Sunday's regular-season finale, continuing to show promise as a playmaker in a starting capacity. Shead averaged 10.4 points, 6.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes over 11 games as a starter this season. However, he shot just 37.5 percent from the field during this span, so the Raptors hope Shead will experience some improvement in his shooting efficiency during his second season in 2025-26.

Nears double-double in victory Shead accumulated nine points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 victory over the Nets.

Impact Shead got the starting nod Sunday with Immanuel Quickley (rest) inactive, leading all Raptors in assists and steals while finishing one point shy of a double-double due to a poor shooting performance. Shead set a new season high in assists, surpassing the double-digit mark on two occasions. He also tied a season high in steals, a mark he has tallied four times.

Starting Sunday Shead will start Sunday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Shead will draw another start due to an Immanuel Quickley rest day. Over his last 15 games (seven starts), Shead has averaged 10.5 points, 5.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 24.1 minutes per game.

Hands out nine dimes off bench Shead provided 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-105 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Shead didn't start Friday's loss, as Immanuel Quickley was in the starting lineup, but that didn't prevent the former Houston standout from making an impact on offense when he was on the court. This was Shead's sixth game with at least nine assists as a rookie, and he's already dished out the second-most assists as a first-year player in franchise history, according to Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun. Shead is ending the campaign on a strong note considering his role. He's averaging 11.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game over his last 10 appearances (four starts).

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 17 points in win Shead closed with 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Friday's 108-97 win over Charlotte.

Impact Shead continues to flash his upside, scoring double-digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite a fluctuating role, his production has remained relatively consistent. The Raptors have shown their hand by openly resting their star players. The situation has afforded Shead a nice opportunity, of which he has made the most. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.3 points, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench role Shead will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Shead started five of the last 10 games for the Raptors, but with Immanuel Quickley returning Friday, the rookie guard will be in the second unit against Charlotte. In 61 games off the bench for Toronto, Shead has averaged 6.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 41.6 percent from the field.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Brooklyn Shead is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.

Impact The Raptors will rest Immanuel Quickley in this contest, so Shead will move to the starting lineup in this one. The rookie has been playing at a high level in recent games and has scored in double digits in all but one of his last six outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Monday Shead is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Wizards on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Shead will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Immanuel Quickley, the latter of whom rested in Sunday's loss against the Spurs. Shead has started in four of the Raptors' last eight games, and over that span he has averaged 9.5 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal over 24.6 minutes per game.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to flash promise in start Shead ended Sunday's 123-89 loss to the Spurs with 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

Impact The Raptors gave Immanuel Quickley the night off, which could remain a common theme to close out a losing season, and it allowed Shead to draw the start. Shead has shown some promise when given the opportunity to ride with the first unit, as he's averaged 11.4 points, 6.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes over five games as a starter this season. The rookie second-rounder could get a few more looks with the starters down the stretch, depending on how much maintenance Quickley receives.
