Free agent shooting guard Jodie Meeks is signing a 10-day contract with the Toronto Raptors, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Jodie Meeks hasn't played at all this season. After getting traded by the Washington Wizards to the Milwaukee Bucks in October, he was then immediately waived.
The NBA suspended Meeks 25 games for violating the NBA/NBPA anti-drug program.

Meeks played in 77 games last season for the Wizards. He averaged 6.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per game while shooting 39.9 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Meeks, 31, began his NBA career with the Bucks. He has since played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and Wizards. The 41st overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft has career averages of 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 531 games.
Meeks can shoot the ball well from the 3-point line. The best season of his career was in 2013-14 with the Lakers. The guard averaged 15.7 points per game for the Purple and Gold.
The Raptors are 43-16 on the season, good for second place in the Eastern Conference standings. They ended the All-Star break on a six-game winning streak. We'll see how the team plans to use Meeks when the second half of the season starts.
