Swider racked up 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 106-84 Summer League loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Swider played well throughout the California Classic and during his stint in the Las Vegas Summer League, showing his scoring and shooting abilities. The Syracuse product is hoping to secure another NBA contract, whether it be with his current squad or another team in the league, ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Swider supplied 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt), five rebounds and three steals across 31 minutes in Monday's 67-58 Summer League loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Swider finished as the team's second-leading scorer and was one of just two Lakers players to reach double figures. He also tied the game-high mark in steals. The 26-year-old forward has been impressive in Las Vegas Summer League play, averaging 19.7 points and 8.3 rebounds across 29.7 minutes per game in three appearances.

Swider chipped in 21 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes in Saturday's 94-81 Summer League win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Swider kept his strong Summer League run going Saturday with his second straight double-double. He appeared in 10 regular-season NBA games during the 2024-25 regular season, averaging 5.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game between stints with Detroit and Toronto. The forward should continue to play a prominent role for the remainder of the summer.

Swider posted 22 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 87-85 Summer League loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Swider caught fire from beyond the arc on the way to another 20-point performance. He also turned in a strong showing on the boards, joining Darius Bazley with double-digit rebounds. Swider should continue to see key opportunities as Summer League continues.

Swider recorded 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and a block in 27 minutes during Sunday's 103-83 Summer League win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Swider continued his strong Summer League play with another impressive performance Sunday, logging a game-high 20 points on 70 percent from the floor. Swider has now posted back-to-back 20-plus-point outings to kick off Summer League and will likely remain a key contributor each time he suits up.

Swider notched 24 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes of Saturday's 89-84 Summer League loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Swider has been in and out of the NBA for the past three years, totaling 35 career appearances. Seven of those came with the Lakers back in 2022-23. He most recently played for the Raptors, but he was let go in April. He'll be hoping for a training camp invite, and he did make a strong impression Saturday with his marksmanship from beyond the arc.

The Raptors waived Swider on Thursday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swider averaged 7.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 19.6 minutes across his eight appearances for the Raptors. While he is set to hit free agency, Toronto could bring Swider back on a non-guaranteed deal.

Swider amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-96 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors used a deep rotation Wednesday, with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett playing 14 minutes apiece. With two games remaining in the regular season, it's pretty clear the franchise is trying to spread the minutes around to evaluate different players properly.

The Raptors signed Swider to a second 10-day contract Saturday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swider's first 10-day contract with the Raptors expired on Friday, but he is now set to remain with the team for the rest of the 2024-25 regular season. In his six appearances for Toronto, Swider has averaged 6.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 17.8 minutes.

The Raptors signed Swider to a 10-day contract Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Swider will join the 15-man roster as a replacement for center Colin Castleton, who wasn't retained after his second 10-day deal expired Tuesday. Castleton had averaged 25.8 minutes per game over Toronto's last 10 games, and Swider could be a prime candidate to absorb a good chunk of that playing time. The Raptors have already ruled out two starters in Jakob Poeltl (rest) and Immanuel Quickley (rest) for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, likely leaving Swider, Orlando Robinson, Jonathan Mogbo and Scottie Barnes in line to cover the minutes between power forward and center. Swider previously made two appearances at the NBA level earlier this season while he was signed to a two-way deal with the Pistons, but he's seen the bulk of his action in the G League in 2024-25, appearing in 31 contest between the Motor City Cruise and South Bay Lakers while averaging 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.4 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.7 minutes per contest. He's been one of the top shooters in the G League this season, converting at a 44.3 percent clip from downtown and a 95.2 percent clip from the free-throw line.
