Aaron Gray exercised the $2.6 million player option in his contract, according to beat writer Josh Lewenberg.
Much like his teammate Linas Kleiza, Gray has no reason to decline the option. The five-year veteran had fits of fantasy usefulness in very deep leagues but is mostly an end-of-the-bench player. He averaged 2.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game. May 18 - 1:21 PM

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray scored seven points on 3-of-6 shooting with 12 rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes in Friday's blowout win over the Clippers.

Gray did not record a steal or block and he will stop producing any time now with Jonas Valanciunas and Andrea Bargnani moving in on his turf. But if you're desperate for very short-term value, give him a look while he's providing low-end numbers.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Center Aaron Gray had eight points, 11 rebounds and a block in Wednesday's loss.

He's hot right now, going for a career-high 22 points and 10 rebounds on Monday, but had literally done almost nothing up to that point this season. He should continue to play well as long as Jonas Valanciunas is out, especially with Amir Johnson needed at power forward now that Ed Davis has been traded. If you're desperate at center and are only in it for the short-term, Gray is a decent grab right now.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray started in Monday's loss to the Warriors for matchup purposes, scoring a career-high 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting with 10 rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes.

Gray started because Andrew Bogut started on the other side, and this says more about the Warriors' soft interior defense than anything else. This line will be in the running for flukiest line of the year.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray made his return to the lineup on Friday and had no points, four boards and one block in seven minutes against the Bobcats.

Gray was starting before he became ill and before Dwane Casey came to his senses and started Amir Johnson. The seven minutes played tonight is all you need to know about Gray's fantasy value.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray (flu) will not play on Sunday, moving Amir Johnson into the starting lineup.

Johnson will need to somehow avoid foul trouble for his short-handed team, which has no depth in the middle and will need to get creative against the Thunder.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray is expected to start at center for the Raptors this season.

We had Jonas Valanciunas penciled in as the starter, but he's not fully healthy and is learning the NBA game. Bump Gray up on your cheat sheets if you are desperate for a center late in your draft.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray is a possibility to start at center on opening night.

Gray started 40 games at center last season for Toronto, but he averaged just 4.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in under 18 minutes per game. Even if he does start some games this year, he's not on the fantasy radar.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Raptors signed C Aaron Gray.

Gray's agency, ASM Sports, broke the news of his signing. The two sides verbally agreed to a new two-year deal back in early July, but now he's officially back in the fold. He's simply not a fantasy factor and should be an insurance policy at the end of the bench.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

The Raptors and free agent center Aaron Gray have verbally agreed to a two-year contract.

As with all deals during the FA moratorium, nothing can be signed until July 11 at the earliest. Gray is thoroughly unremarkable (last season he averaged 3.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 17 minutes per game), but he gives Toronto a legitimate big man (7'0", 270 lbs.) off the bench. Presumably it's a cost-effective addition to the Raptors' depth chart, though the value of the deal hasn't been disclosed.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray (back) will not play in Thursday's finale.

Even though Jamaal Magloire will start, Amir Johnson, James Johnson and Ed Davis figure to play a ton of minutes up front as the Raptors wrap up the season. Gray heads into free agency as a mere big body that has never topped 4.3 points per game in a season.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray scored five points on 2-of-5 shooting with four rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes on Monday, and also dealt with a right ankle injury mid-way through the game.

Gray stayed in the game, but if the injury becomes problematic it could help the causes of Amir Johnson and Ed Davis. If anything else comes of it we'll let you know.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray will start over Amir Johnson on Friday against Tyson Chandler and the Knicks.

The Raptors often start Gray over Johnson against bigger physical centers and Chandler certainly fits that bill. They also made this change last Friday when they took on Marc Gasol and the Grizzlies. This shouldn't affect Amir Johnson's value in the long term.

Aaron Gray will start over Amir Johnson on Friday against Marc Gasol and the Grizzlies.

This is strictly a matchup thing, and Amir is expected to reclaim the starting center job in the next one.

Aaron Gray - C - Raptors

Aaron Gray double-doubled against Dwight Howard and the Magic on Monday, scoring 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting with 11 rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes.

Gray has played better than anybody would have imagined before the year and he looks like he has shed a few pounds. That said, he's still only averaging 7.7 points, 6.5 boards, and 0.7 blocks per game over his last six contests, making him a deep-league option at best.
