Fernando signed a deal through the 2025-26 season with Real Madrid of Spain's Liga ACB on Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando will head overseas after Toronto waived him in January. The 26-year-old appeared in 17 games for the Raptors in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 8.5 minutes per contest. Over his six-year NBA career, Fernando has played for four teams, averaging 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game.

The Raptors will waive Fernando on Tuesday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando's $2.43 million contract is set to become fully guaranteed Tuesday, but rather than retaining the center for the rest of the season, the Raptors prefer to have flexibility with their final roster spot and are expected to cycle in players on 10-day contracts, according to Grange. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fixture in the rotation for much of the season, appearing in just 17 of the team's 36 games while averaging 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 8.5 minutes per contest. According to Eurohoops.net, Fernando is expected to be pursued by Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce Beko once he clears waivers, though he could stick around in the NBA if other teams show interest in bringing him aboard as a backup center.

Fernando (toe) is available to play Tuesday against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando has been sidelined since Dec. 12, but he was a fringe rotation player prior to the injury. There's no guarantee he will see the floor Tuesday, but the Raptors are pretty shorthanded which helps his case.

Fernando (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando hasn't suited up since Dec. 12 due to the toe injury. However, his potential absence Tuesday shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged only 8.9 minutes per contest over 16 regular-season appearances.

Fernando (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Hawks due to a toe injury, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando is not in the Raptors' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando was a late addition to the Raptors' starting lineup Thursday due to Jakob Poeltl dealing with back spasms. However, Poeltl ended up playing in that game and played 27 minutes off the bench while Fernando was limited to just two minutes of playing time. Fernando likely won't see much playing time off Toronto's bench behind Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk.

Fernando will start over Jakob Poeltl (back spasms) in Thursday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl was a late scratch and has been downgraded to doubtful, meaning his chances of seeing the floor Thursday are very slim. Fernando should see plenty of minutes at center, with Chris Boucher also expected to see an expanded role off the bench.

Fernando is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando will return to his regular bench role after making a spot start against the Thunder on Dec. 5, notching four points, seven rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes in a 129-92 loss. With Poeltl available and ready to handle his regular workload, Fernando isn't expected to see significant minutes off the bench against Dallas.

Fernando will start Thursday night's game against the Thunder, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fernando is in line for an opportunity at center after news broke that Jakob Poeltl (illness) wouldn't suit up. This marks Fernando's first start of the 2024-25 campaign, and he should shoulder a heavier workload after averaging only 8.6 minutes through his first 14 appearances of the season.
