Jahmi’us Ramsey is staying with the Toronto Raptors for a little longer.
The Raptors have signed him to a second 10-day contract, the team announced Thursday.
Ramsey has appeared in two games for Toronto, playing 25 minutes and scoring 6 points on 2-10 shooting.
One of his made baskets with the Raptors was a highlight reel windmill dunk against the Detroit Pistons:

The Raptors are going to give Ramsey a longer look as they continue to be riddled with injuries.
The new deal for Ramsey will take him through the next five games for the Raptors. Toronto will then have to re-sign Ramsey for the remainder of the season if they want to keep him around after his second 10-day contract expires.
The 22-year-old got the call up to the Raptors after playing two G league games with the 905. He scored 39 points in 68 total minutes while shooting 15-31 to go along with 15 rebounds and 8 assists with the 905.
Before coming to the Raptors organization, Ramsey appeared in 20 games with the Oklahoma City Blues this season. That is where he averaged 20.6 points on 53.1 percent shooting from the field, 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest.
Ramsey will take up Toronto’s final roster spot.
Ramsey looks to seize the opportunity
In the final 16 games of the Raptors season, players like Ramsey will have a big opportunity to prove themselves.
Toronto is without Scottie Barnes and they are severely shorthanded. Therefore, the young players on this team will get plenty of chances to standout.
