The Toronto Raptors enter the 2026 NBA offseason facing major questions about their roster.
Pushing the Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games represented overachievement for a team that was a heavy basketball betting underdog at the BetMGM sportsbook, but Toronto needs to build a more competitive roster around Scottie Barnes.
How Much Cap Space Do the Toronto Raptors Have in 2026?
The Raptors are $47,866,895 over the salary cap heading into the 2026 offseason.
The majority of the 2025-26 roster is under contract for the 2026-27 campaign.
How Much Space Do the Raptors Have Under the Apron?
Toronto is $9,341,795 under the first apron and $22,341,795 under the highly restrictive second apron.
The Raptors have limited free-agent flexibility. They are not going to be major players unless they can shed some money via trades.

Do the Raptors Have the Midlevel Exception?
Yes, the Raptors have access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, which projects to be around $15 million. Using more than $6 million of this would hard cap the Raptors at the first apron.
This is Toronto’s clearest route to strengthen its team in the 2026 offseason.
Who’s the Raptors’ Highest-Paid Player?
Barnes is Toronto’s highest-paid player in 2026-27, with a salary of $41,754,690.
Brandon Ingram, who underwhelmed in the playoffs, is due to be paid $40 million in 2026-27.
