The Toronto Raptors are one of a number of teams interested in acquiring new New York Knicks swingman Wesley Matthews, reports the New York Times' Marc Stein.

The Knicks are exploring the trade market for Wes Matthews before Thursday's 3 PM deadline, league sources say, but there are also several antsy suitors hoping Matthews makes it to the buyout market. Among them: Houston, Oklahoma City, Toronto, Philadelphia and, yes, Golden State — Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) February 4, 2019

While Stein notes that the Knicks are looking into trading the 32-year-old San Antonio native before Thursday's 3pm deadline, a number of teams are hoping that he could be bought out.

Along with the Raptors, Stein reports the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors are also interested in the 10-year pro.

Matthews was acquired by the Knicks in last week's blockbuster with the Dallas Mavericks in which Kristaps Porzingis headed to Texas.

In 45 games this season, Matthews is averaging 12.9 points on .411 shooting (.374 from three), 2.3 boards and 2.2 assists over 29.8 minutes a night.

Prior to joining the Mavs, Matthews also spent time with the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers.
