Linas Kleiza reportedly exercised the $4.6 million player option in his contract, according to beat writer Josh Lewenberg.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone because there's no way Kleiza's getting anything close to that much on the open market. Kleiza barely played this season due to injuries and then was shut down by the Raptors for the final month of the season despite being healthy. He's candidate for Toronto's amnesty clause.

Linas Kleiza (knee) has been doing quad strenghtening exercises and could return within a week.

The Raptors are more than likely to use their amnesty clause on Kleiza and his bum knee in the offseason.

Linas Kleiza could be cut using the amnesty clause in the offseason, according to the Toronto Sun.

Kleiza's chronic knee woes aren't going away. The Toronto Sun calls Kleiza being amnestied "more like a given with each passing day," and it makes sense given the depth the Raptors have on the wing.
