Magic, Raptors, Jazz, Kings Make Small Signings and Cuts
Orlando added Mike Sharavjamts on an Exhibit 10 contract and plans to waive him, with a bonus possible if he spends 60 days with its G League affiliate. Toronto signed Tyson Degenhart to an Exhibit 10 deal and released Andre Jackson Jr., while Utah signed Taylor Funk. Sacramento waived Sean East II and Viktor Lakhin.
Sharavjamts, a 6-foot-8 undrafted forward, would receive up to $91K beyond his NBAGL base if he remains with Osceola for 60 days. He became the first Mongolian citizen to secure a Division I basketball scholarship in 2022, then played at Dayton, San Francisco, Utah, and South Carolina. As a South Carolina senior, he started all 32 games and averaged 10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 blocks.
Toronto brought back Degenhart after he spent last season with Raptors 905, where he posted 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds over 50 games. Jackson, a former second-round pick, had three years on a standard Milwaukee deal before joining Toronto in August and dealt with a hamstring issue in camp. Utah added Funk, a former St. Joseph's and Utah State player who averaged 11.3 points for San Diego in the G League last season. Sacramento cut East and Lakhin, who may join Stockton.

These minor moves may matter most to the players and families involved, as Exhibit 10 deals can provide G League opportunities and modest bonuses. Fans in Orlando, Toronto, Utah, and Sacramento could see affiliate teams benefit from added depth, while waived players may continue careers in Stockton or elsewhere. The broader societal impact is likely limited, though local basketball communities may feel small ripple effects through development and entertainment.
