Waived to complete Siakam trade
Koloko (illness) was waived by the Raptors on Wednesday, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: Koloko hadn't suited up for the Raptors all season, as he's battled respiratory issues and didn't appear close to making a return to the hardwood. With Toronto bringing in Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and Kira Lewis on Wednesday as part of the deal that sent Pascal Siakam to Indiana, the team needed to open up a roster spot and therefore cut Koloko loose. While it's possible Koloko's respiratory issues keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, he should attract some interest across the NBA after appearing in 58 games as a rookie and averaging 3.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 13.8 minutes.
