Raptors sign Brooks to a multi-year deal

TORONTO – Armoni Brooks has earned a multi-year deal with the Toronto Raptors.

The six-foot-three, 195-pound guard signed a multi-year contract with the Raptors on Saturday, as his second 10-day contract with the team expired.

Brooks is averaging 2.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 11.1 minutes through eight games.

He signed with the Raptors just hours before they tipped off against the visiting Indiana Pacers Saturday.

In Thursday’s 117-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Brooks hit a big three-pointer in the fourth quarter.
