Thursday marks the deadline for NBA teams to sign free agents who are eligible to play in the post-season.

It’s a day in which many contenders look to shore up their rotation with veterans who have been bought out by their previous teams, reaching an agreement to forfeit some original salary and hit the free-agent market.

On Wednesday swingman Corey Brewer reached a buyout with the Los Angeles Lakers and has reportedly agreed to join the Oklahoma City Thunder; Joe Johnson and Brandon Wright signed with the Houston Rockets after the trade deadline following releases from their previous teams; the Philadelphia 76ers added veterans Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilyasova via the buyout market.

While there was much speculation the Raptors were active in the buyout market, Sportsnet’s Michael Grange reports it’s unlikely Toronto makes any changes to their roster.

The Raptors have been said to be looking for another wing player with post-season experience and a reliable three-point shot, and had previously been linked to 41-year-old Vince Carter – a rumour that’s since been shot down — as well as Ilyasova, Belinelli and others.

As Grange notes, the Raptors don’t have a lot to offer prospective free agents in the way of playing time or a significant role, particularly given how stellar — and deep — their young bench has proven to be. Head coach Dwane Casey and his staff will already have a tough enough task narrowing the rotation come playoff time (or opting to buck tradition altogether) without having to factor in the addition of another player worthy of court time.

That said, Wednesday night’s injury to rookie starter OG Anunoby – whose offensive struggles over the past two months or so have prompted questions as to his reliability come the post-season — could only amplify what is one of the Raptors’ lone weaknesses.

C.J. Miles along with Anunoby’s replacement last night, Norman Powell, will get the opportunity to see an increased role for as long as the rookie is sidelined. Anunoby left Wednesday’s 117-104 win in the second quarter with a sprained ankle and did not return. Powell played 11 minutes in replacement and posted zero points (on zero shot attempts and zero free-throw attempts), along with zero rebounds, assists, steals or blocks.
