The Toronto Raptors fell short in the Summer League semifinals against the Sacramento Kings, but the experience proved invaluable for the team as they prepared for the upcoming season. With a focus on developing young talent, head coach Darko Rajakovic observed key performances, particularly from Jamal Shead, who showcased his playmaking skills with 12 assists and 24 points, and Ja'Kobe Walter, who added 19 points. Despite the loss, the team's ability to cut a 22-point deficit to just one highlight their potential.

The Raptors emphasized building a defensive identity, which players embraced throughout their time in Las Vegas. This commitment allows the coaching staff to create tailored developmental programs for the roster's younger players. As the season approaches, the Raptors aim to solidify their lineup, with several players likely to secure spots, including Shead and Walter.
