Josh Lewenberg: Raptors rookie Collin Murray-Boyles will miss tonight’s Summer League debut with a left adductor strain. He was limping pretty badly after practice yesterday. Word is he should be back for Game 2.
According to Zach Lowe of The Ringer, the Toronto Raptors sniffed around White and offered the No. 9 pick (which they used to select South Carolina forward Colin Murray-Boyles). “There were reports that the Raptors offered the No. 9 pick for Derrick White,” Lowe said on his podcast “The Zach Lowe Show” on June 26. “I’m told that’s true, but that it happened a month and a half ago after Jayson Tatum got hurt, and Boston laughed at that offer and said, ‘We need way more than No. 9 for Derrick White.’”
Wasserman and CAA tied for the most first-round picks of the 2025 NBA Draft with six selections from each agency. Though Wasserman pulled ahead in the early hours at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, CAA mounted a late comeback with more than half of the overall selections through the 22nd and 30th picks. Wasserman was a consistent agency throughout the early two thirds of the draft, seeing clients like Baylor G VJ Edgecombe (3rd pick), South Carolina F Collin Murray-Boyles (9th pick), Arizona F Carter Bryant (14th pick), Cedevita Olimpija C Joan Beringer (17th pick), Saint-Quentin G Nolan Traore (19th pick) and Illinois G Kasparas Jakucionis (20th pick) get selected.

Josh Lewenberg: Webster on CMB's initial on-cam reaction to being drafted by Raptors: "We don't tell the player. A lot of teams will tell the players that they're getting picked and so I don't think he knew. I think it was truly a reaction to it happening. Maybe we should leak to them more" 😂
Ryan Wolstat: Raptors general manager Bobby Webster on Collin Murray-Boyles says they watched him closely for two years. "Very versatile great hands a lot of stops. See him as a chance to be a very good defensive player in the NBA."
Ryan Wolstat: Collin Murray-Boyles said the reaction was "just disbelief. What I said was not a bad thing by any means. Thankful."

While monitoring Durant discussions, the Raptors have continued to bring in top talent ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. League sources tell RG that Nolan Traore, a projected first-round guard, completed a workout with the Raptors on Monday. The team has also evaluated Tre Johnson, Derik Queen, Jase Richardson and Collin Murray-Boyles, among other projected first-round prospects, as part of its broader pre-draft process. League sources tell RG that various members of Toronto’s front office are believed to be high on Khaman Maluach, one of the youngest and most intriguing bigs in the class. However, it remains to be seen if he’ll be available when the No. 9 pick is on the clock.
