Freeman-Liberty played in two games for the Raptors back in January, but only accumulated less than four minutes of total floor time. But his solid play in the developmental he has convinced the Raps to give him a shot by filling the team's 15th roster spot for the rest of the season, and some NBA money (though likely non-guaranteed) for next season as well.

It's been a good week for the G League's leading scorer, as he was also just named its Player of the Week.
