Javon Freeman-Liberty: Cut by Toronto
The Raptors waived Freeman-Liberty on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Only $100,000 of Freeman-Liberty's $1.89 million contract for the 2024-25 season was set to be fully guaranteed until Tuesday, so the Raptors will face limited financial ramifications by cutting him loose. Murphy relays that Freeman-Liberty is likely to receive interest from around the league as a two-way player, though he would first have to clear waivers before he's eligible to sign a new deal elsewhere. Freeman-Liberty spent the majority of the 2023-24 season as one of the Raptors' two-way players, appearing in 22 games at the NBA level while averaging 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18.3 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Javon Freeman-Liberty: Thrives in starting role
Freeman-Liberty posted 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 96-88 loss to Brooklyn.
Freeman-Liberty profiles as one of the players who will probably get extended minutes in the final weeks of the regular season once Toronto gets eliminated from playoff contention. He's started in two of the Raptors' last three games and has scored in double digits both times, so there might be some upside -- perhaps as a streaming alternative for light slates -- as most fantasy leagues enter the postseason territory. This will depend on whether he continues as a starter, though.

Raptors' Javon Freeman-Liberty: Moves back to bench role
Freeman-Liberty is not in the starting lineup to face the Wizards on Saturday.
Freeman-Liberty got the start against the Thunder on Thursday, racking up 10 points, four rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes. He'll move back to the bench here, but he could still log around 20 minutes given how depleted the Raptors are in terms of depth.

Raptors' Javon Freeman-Liberty: Scores 10 in first career start
Freeman-Liberty provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder.
Freeman-Liberty got the start Friday with Gary Trent (back) sidelined. Freeman-Liberty took advantage of the extended playing time, as he went on to register season highs in points, assists and minutes played. He could reprise his starting role in the Raptors' next contest, the second half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Wizards, should Trent remain out.

Raptors' Javon Freeman-Liberty: Recalled to NBA
Toronto recalled Freeman-Liberty from the G League's Raptors 905 on Tuesday.
Freeman-Liberty was assigned Tuesday morning and played 25 minutes during the 905's 134-106 loss to the Westchester Knicks. He totaled 29 points (10-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists during the contest. Freeman-Liberty will be available for Wednesday's NBA matchup against Sacramento. However, it's unclear if he'll be part of the rotation after playing heavy minutes in the G League on Tuesday, though Immanuel Quickley's (personal) absence should open up some playing time for several reserve options.

Raptors' Javon Freeman-Liberty: Scoreless performance Monday
Freeman-Liberty finished Monday's 125-119 loss to Denver with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 12 minutes.
As a score-first guard, Freeman-Liberty failed to contribute much Monday but entered the contest logging at least 18 minutes in three consecutive games, signifying a relevant rotation role for the 24-year-old, especially if Immanuel Quickley (hip) and Gary Trent (groin) remain out. However, Freeman-Liberty is unlikely to build fantasy streaming appeal even if his role incrementally grows.
