Toronto officially signs Kleiza
Basketball Betting Lines
07/26/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors have signed forward
Linas Kleiza to a multi-year contract.
Per team policy, no details of the deal were announced.
The Raptors had signed Kleiza to an offer sheet that was not matched by his
former team, the Denver Nuggets, and assumed his rights on July 17.
The former Missouri Tiger played with Olympiakos in Greece last season and
averaged 14 points and 5.1 rebounds in 31 games. He helped lead Olympiakos to
the Euroleague Championship game in Paris and contributed 17.1 points and 6.5
boards in 22 Euroleague contests.
Kleiza spent the first four years of his career in the NBA with Denver and
averaged 8.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 301 games.
"We are very happy to add a tough-minded, hard-nosed forward who will
certainly get a chance to contribute given the departure of Hedo Turkoglu,"
said general manager Bryan Colangelo. "Linas has that unique inside/outside
game that makes him a tough cover at a couple of different positions."
The Lithuanian-born Kleiza was originally selected by Portland with the 27th
pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
