Bruno Fernando Latest News
Joins Toronto
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
The Raptors signed Fernando to a non-guaranteed contract Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. The 25-year-old was released by the Hawks earlier this week and didn't take long to latch on with a new team. Fernando will need a strong camp to have a chance of earning a place on the season-opening roster.
Released by Atlanta
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
The Hawks waived Fernando on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. After spending just one full season with the club, Fernando will now look to sign with a new team after being waived by the Hawks. The 25-year-old was a non-factor in the first half of the 2023-24 regular season, during which he averaged 4.0 points and 3.1 rebounds across 9.0 minutes in 18 games. However, after the All-Star break, Fernando saw an uptick in playing time, and he averaged 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 19.3 minutes in 27 appearances.
Contract guarantee date extended
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando and the Hawks intend to push back the guarantee deadline on his contract to July 10, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The Hawks and Fernando decided on a similar move prior to last season, and ultimately the center's contract was guaranteed. If the club decides to guarantee his salary this season, Fernando is set to make $2.7 million this upcoming year. The 25-year-old was a non-factor in the first half of 2023-24; however, after the All-Star break he saw an uptick in minutes, during which he averaged 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 19.3 minutes.
Back to bench for Play-In
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando will come off the bench for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Bulls, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Fernando drew the start in Game 82 of the regular season but he'll retreat to the second unit with Clint Capela (rest) back in action. While it's assumed Atlanta will trim down their rotation, Fernando should see upwards of 20 minutes Wednesday.
Reaches double figures in start
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando contributed 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Sunday's 157-115 loss to Indiana. Fernando got the starting nod with Clint Capela (rest) sitting out the regular-season finale, ending as one of four Atlanta starters and five players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Fernando started his second game of the season Sunday, his first that ended with 10 or more points. He rounds out the regular season by posting 11 double-digit scoring outings.
Starting sans Capela
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando will start Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. With Clint Capela (rest) sitting out the regular-season finale, Fernando will draw a spot start. In his only start this season (Feb. 14 versus Charlotte), Fernando posted six points, 12 rebounds, an assist and a block in 26 minutes.
Scores career-best 25 points
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando posted 25 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 132-91 victory over the Hornets. Fernando reached a new career-high scoring mark in this one, and the big man is certainly making the most of the opportunity with Onyeka Okongwu (toe) sidelined. However, this was a one-game outlier, and he's not expected to hover around the 20-point plateau -- let alone the 10-point mark -- off the bench going forward, as he remains a backup with no real shot at a starting role any time soon.
Stuffs stat sheet off bench
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando had six points (3-5 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Pelicans. Fernando is not a player known for making a significant impact off the bench in fantasy formats, and he's probably on the wire in most leagues. Still, he certainly made his presence felt in this one, recording at least two tallies in every one of the five major categories while grabbing 11 boards -- the third time he pulled down double-digit boards across his last 10 games. His recent performances are worth monitoring, but he profiles as a streaming alternative for fantasy owners with depth issues at the center position in a best-case scenario, at least until Onyeka Okongwu (toe) returns to action.
Fails to score in 21 minutes
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/toronto-raptors-logo.png?w=150)
Fernando closed with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 21 minutes during Friday's 99-92 victory over Memphis. Fernando played 21 minutes off the bench yet failed to come up with a single point. Despite playing a consistent role behind Clint Capela, Fernando has been unable to turn minutes into production. He has been outside the top 200 over the past month, meaning only those in deeper formats should consider him a viable asset.
