The Predators signed the free agent guards Tyreek-Key and This is Manny Burnett according to Sportsnet.ca’s Blake Murphy, will put up 10 contracts on Thursday (Twitter references).
While many players signed to Exhibit 10 deals at this time of year are quick to forego their playing bonus at G League affiliate organizations, that doesn’t appear to be the case for Key or Burnett. Both players are on Toronto’s official training camp roster, which also includes other camp invitees Nate Beatle and Andre Jackson Jraccording to Murphy.
Key became a reliable scorer last season for the Raptors 905, averaging 16.6 points per game in 33 regular season games (14 starts) while shooting 52.1% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range. He went undrafted out of Tennessee in 2023 after spending his first four collegiate seasons at Indiana State and then playing in Belgium for a year before signing with the G League.
Last April, Toronto signed Key to a standard contract for the remainder of the season, only to waive him days later. It appears the move was more about rewarding Key with a good play bonus for 905 since he has yet to make his NBA debut.
Burnett agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors in late June when he went undrafted, but the deal has not been finalized until now. A regular starter for the 37-game, national championship-winning Michigan Wolverines, Burnett averaged 8.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.8 minutes per game in 2025/26, posting a .453/.375/.776 slash line.
According to Paul Garcia of the Spot Up Shot, five other players signed training camp contracts on Thursday.Podstek and Twitter references). These players (and teams) are as follows:
Reaves was a second-round pick two years ago and has appeared in NBA games the past two seasons with the Pelicans and Hornets. Marshall was undrafted out of George Washington, while Elmore, Levine and Williams are largely G League and/or international veterans, though Williams has a little NBA experience, having played for Toronto in 2023/24 and also spent a couple of weeks last season in a two-way deal with Atlanta.
