Bakersfield Jam News Release
The Toronto Raptors announced Friday they have assigned guard Dwight Buycks to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League. Buycks will continue to be included on the Raptors' roster and will be placed on the team's inactive list.
Buycks has appeared in 12 games for the Raptors this season recording 41 points, 10 assists, 20 rebounds and six steals in 121 minutes. He posted a season-best 10 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals December 10 versus San Antonio.
This will be Buycks' second stint in the NBA D-League. He appeared in 28 games (two starts) for Tulsa during the 2011-12 season and averaged 15.1 points while shooting .497 (165-for-332) from the field.
Buycks, a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, signed as a free-agent July 16, 2013 after participating on the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League squad. He played overseas during the 2012-13 season for BCM Gravelines in France.
Buycks is the seventh Raptor to be assigned to the NBA D-League. Quincy Acy was assigned twice to Bakersfield during the 2012-13 season (December 6-12, 2012 and March 4-26, 2013). Solomon Alabi was designated on four occasions, three times to the Erie BayHawks (November 2010, January 2011 and March 2011) and once to Bakersfield (January 2012). Ed Davis was assigned to Erie for two games in December 2010. Nathan Jawai was designated on two occasions in the 2008-09 season to the Idaho Stampede. P.J. Tucker was assigned twice to the Colorado 14ers during the 2006-07 season and Pape Sow was assigned to the Arkansas Rimrockers in the 2005-06 campaign.
Bakersfield, led by Head Coach Will Voigt, has been appointed as Toronto's NBA D-League affiliate for the 2013-14 season.
