The Toronto Raptors entered the 2026 NBA offseason facing major questions about their roster.
Pushing the Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games represented overachievement for a team that was a heavy basketball betting underdog at the BetMGM sportsbook, but Toronto has work to do to build a contending roster.
How Much Cap Space Do the Toronto Raptors Have in 2026?
The Raptors are $47,135,532 over the salary cap as of July 9, 2026.
The trade for Kawhi Leonard will add around $3 million to the Raptors’ committed salary for 2026-27.
How Much Space Do the Raptors Have Under the Apron?
Toronto is $5,754,155 under the first apron and $18,425,155 under the highly restrictive second apron.
The Raptors didn’t enter free agency with much financial flexibility.
Do the Raptors Have the Midlevel Exception?
Yes, the Raptors have access to the taxpayer mid-level exception or the bi-annual exception. These exceptions are $6.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
Toronto, though, will trigger a hard cap by taking back more money than they are sending out. This limits their flexibility further and will make it difficult to use either exception.
Who’s the Raptors’ Highest-Paid Player?
Leonard is Toronto’s highest-paid player in 2026-27, with a salary of $50,300,000.
Scottie Barnes is the second-highest-paid player on the team with a salary of just under $42 million.
