June 26 (UPI) -- Raptors veteran center Marc Gasol exercised his $25.6 million player option for the 2019-20 season to remain in Toronto, the team confirmed Wednesday.
Gasol could have opted out to enter free agency, but he will instead finish out the remainder of his contract with the Raptors. The big man enters the final season of a five-year deal he originally signed with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2015.
