The Toronto Raptors will relinquish their first-round draft pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to the San Antonio Spurs after falling to the No. 8 pick in the NBA Lottery on Sunday.
The Raptors’ pick falls to 8th overall, meaning it goes to San Antonio as part of the Poeltl trade. They own picks No. 19 (via IND) and 31 (DET) in the June 26-27 draft.

Toronto traded forward Khem Birch, a 2024 first-round pick and two second-round picks to the Spurs for centre Jakob Poeltl in February of 2023.
The Raptors' first-round pick was only top-six protected and was sent to the Spurs as part of the return for Poeltl.
The Atlanta Hawks won the first-overall pick for the first time in franchise history.
