Dowtin was active for his 50th NBA game of the season in Charlotte, the maximum allowed for a player on a two-way deal.
And unless the Raptors waive someone by Thursday, Dowtin will be ineligible for next week’s play-in games or the NBA playoffs, if the Raptors make them.
There’s been no indication from management on whether they’ll cut someone in the last few days of the season so Dowtin can have his deal converted. They could let the deal remain a two-way contract, keep his rights through the summer and roll into next week’s play-in games with some combination of Scottie Barnes, Malachi Flynn or Will Barton playing the six or eight minutes a night that Fred VanVleet won’t in the most significant games of the season.
Dowtin has played in 25 of his 50 games as one of Toronto’s two two-way players. He averaged just over 10 minutes a game and earned the trust of coach Nick Nurse because of his defensive effort and the way he gets the offence organized when he’s running it. If the Raptors do want to have him for games starting on the weekend, the player they’d most likely move is Joe Wieskamp, who has had no impact since signing a contract in February.
