Jokes aside, Dick is starting to play some meaningful minutes with the Raptors.
After a slow start to his season, Dick has been able to bounce back becoming a reliable three-point shooter for Toronto.
He has had some nice outings with the Raptors and has started to find his rhythm.
Dick has started in 5 games for Toronto and he will likely be the starter until the end of the season with key players out.
He will continue to get plenty of opportunities to shine during this Raptors rebuild.
This season Dick is averaging 6.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists on 42.3 percent shooting from the field and 35.8 percent shooting from deep.
He was selected No. 13 overall by the Raptors in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Dick has a goofy character as he is always seen smiling and having a good time off the court.
He saw an opportunity to make a funny moment with Black and went for it.
Black has been in and out of the lineup for a Magic team that is looking to lock up a top six seed in the Eastern Conference. Orlando is trying to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 Bubble Season.
Next up for Toronto
The Raptors have 14 games left on the season as they continue to prioritize player development.
They will have a few days off before resuming action on March 20 against the Sacramento Kings.
Toronto is currently tied with the Memphis Grizzlies for the sixth-worst record in the NBA.
