Reports: Raptors sign guard Will Barton, waive Juancho Hernangomez

The 11-year NBA veteran will give the Raptors some much-needed three-point shooting help.

The Toronto Raptors have signed free agent guard Will Barton, according to multiple reports.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Toronto waived forward Juancho Hernangomez to make room for Barton, who worked out a buyout with the Washington Wizards, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

In 40 games with the Wizards, the 11-year NBA veteran averaged 7.7 points per game, shooting 38 percent from three-point range. He was traded to the Wizards from the Denver Nuggets last summer after he spent a little more than seven seasons in Colorado.
