Trent played his first two-and-a-half NBA seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers before being acquired by the Raptors in a trade that sent Norm Powell to Oregon.
He signed a three-year, $51.8-million contract with the Raptors before the 2021-22 season.
Point guard Fred VanVleet and centre Jakob Poeltl are the Raptors’ remaining key unrestricted free agents.
VanVleet declined his $22.8-million player option earlier this month.
