According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. agreed to a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 27-year-old has bounced around the league since entering it in 2021, making stops in Orlando, Golden State, Milwaukee, Toronto, and Philadelphia. He appeared in 12 games for the Sixers last season and didn't do much from a statistical standpoint. However, Dowtin averaged 17.1 points and 5.7 assists for Philly during Summer League. With that said, he should spend time with the big club throughout the 2024-25 campaign. But for now, Dowtin is nothing more than a deep-league dynasty stash.
Toronto Raptors guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. has signed a training camp deal with the organization over the weekend. The 26-year-old spent last season with the Raptors on a two-way deal. Now, Dowtin will get a chance to earn a significant salary guarantee, assuming he can make the opening night roster. He appeared in a career-high 25 games for the Raptors last season. The Raptors are in need of depth at the guard spot with the departure of Fred VanVleet. Despite that, it's hard to imagine Dowtin offering the team much value next season.
The Toronto Raptors have signed guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. to a two-way contract.

Dowtin had a strong Summer League showing for the Raptors, averaging 16.0 points, 4.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 57% from the floor.
