Raptors’ ex-guard leaves NBA to sign contract in Italy

The last NBA action that Jahmi’us Ramsey got came for the Toronto Raptors.

But after a year solely in the G League, Ramsey is heading away from his NBA dreams, for now.

The former second-round pick of the Sacramento Kings has signed a contract in Italy. Pallacanestro Trieste has announced it signed Ramsey to a one-year deal.

Ramsey joined the Kings from Texas Tech and played 32 games across two seasons at the NBA level.

He played seven more games, including a start, for the Raptors in 2023-24.

All told, Ramsey has averaged 3.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game at the NBA level.

He spent most of last season with the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League, where he was a star. He put up 20 points per game while shooting 50% from the floor.

Ramsey also played for Team USA in AmeriCup qualifying.

He’s still just 24 years old, so there’s probably a path back stateside at some point for the 24-year old if he wants it. For now, he’s crossing the Atlantic.
