Source: Toronto Raptors re-sign forward Serge Ibaka to three-year deal
TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have retained one of their key free agents, signing forward Serge Ibaka to a three-year deal on Sunday, a source confirmed to The Canadian Press.
The athletic big man’s deal, which can’t be finalized until the NBA’s moratorium on free agent signings is lifted on Thursday, is reportedly worth US$65 million.
The news came several hours after reports that the team was losing gritty defensive specialist P.J. Tucker to the Houston Rockets. Tucker agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with Houston, according to reports.
The Raptors remain in talks with all-star point guard Kyle Lowry.
