Raptors 905 News Release
Raptors 905, the NBA Development League affiliate of the Toronto Raptors, announced Friday they have acquired the returning player rights to Canadian centre Sim Bhullar from the Reno Bighorns in exchange for the returning player rights to guard Ricky Ledo.
Bhullar, 22, split the 2014-15 season between the Sacramento Kings and Bighorns. In three games with Sacramento, the Brampton, Ontario native became the first person of Indian descent to play in the NBA and recorded two points, one rebound, one assist and one block in three minutes of action. In 39 games with Reno, the 7-5, 355-pound centre averaged 25.8 minutes, 10.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.9 blocks. Before turning pro last season, Bhullar played two years (2012-14) at New Mexico State. In 65 career games with the Aggies, he averaged 25.3 minutes, 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks.
Ledo was originally acquired by Raptors 905 in the NBA D-League expansion draft August 20. The Providence College alumnus split last season among the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and the NBA D-League's Texas Legends.
Raptors 905 also announced Friday they have received the Bakersfield Jam's own original 2016 third-round pick in the NBA D-League Draft in exchange for the returning player rights to forward Earl Clark, who was originally acquired by Raptors 905 in this summer's expansion draft.
