Bruno Fernando

October 12, 2024

Strong off bench Friday

Fernando compiled six points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Friday's 113-95 loss to Washington.

Analysis

Fernando was waived by the Hawks in July, only to be offered a lifeline in the form of a non-guaranteed, one-year contract by the Raptors. Despite shooting the ball poorly in the loss, Fernando racked up five defensive stats, something the coaching staff would have been keeping an eye on. He is no certainty to make the final roster but performances like this should at least keep him in the discussion.
