Reports: Raptors shore up point guard spot by acquiring Telfair at deadline
TORONTO – The Toronto Raptors acquired Phoenix point guard Sebastian Telfair ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, according to multiple reports.
The Raptors sent centre Hamed Haddadi — who never played for Toronto — and a conditional second-round pick to the Suns.
The deal gives Toronto a third point guard, joining Kyle Lowry and John Lucas.
The 27-year-old Telfair is averaging 6.0 points and 2.5 assists this season.
The Raptors will be Telfair’s seventh NBA team.
Haddadi was part of the deal that sent Jose Calderon to Detroit and Ed Davis to Memphis in exchange for Rudy Gay.
