Bruno Fernando: Breaking News

Signs in Spain

Fernando signed a deal through the 2025-26 season with Real Madrid of Spain's Liga ACB on Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Fernando will head overseas after Toronto waived him in January. The 26-year-old appeared in 17 games for the Raptors in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 8.5 minutes per contest. Over his six-year NBA career, Fernando has played for four teams, averaging 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game.

Parting ways with Toronto

The Raptors will waive Fernando on Tuesday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. Fernando's $2.43 million contract is set to become fully guaranteed Tuesday, but rather than retaining the center for the rest of the season, the Raptors prefer to have flexibility with their final roster spot and are expected to cycle in players on 10-day contracts, according to Grange. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fixture in the rotation for much of the season, appearing in just 17 of the team's 36 games while averaging 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 8.5 minutes per contest. According to Eurohoops.net, Fernando is expected to be pursued by Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce Beko once he clears waivers, though he could stick around in the NBA if other teams show interest in bringing him aboard as a backup center.

Available to play

Fernando (toe) is available to play Tuesday against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Fernando has been sidelined since Dec. 12, but he was a fringe rotation player prior to the injury. There's no guarantee he will see the floor Tuesday, but the Raptors are pretty shorthanded which helps his case.
