The Toronto Raptors have signed veteran guard Markelle Fultz to a 10-day contract, bringing the former No. 1 overall draft pick back to the NBA after a stint with the team's G League affiliate. The move, announced on Monday, March 23, 2026, fills an open roster spot and provides immediate backcourt depth as the Raptors prepare for their game against the Utah Jazz later that day.

Fultz, 27, joins Toronto for his ninth NBA season following six games with the Raptors 905, where he averaged 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. His recent performances highlighted a return to form, including a 17-point, seven-assist outing on March 21 and a combined 27 points with 12 assists over back-to-back games the previous weekend.
