The Orlando Magic are planning to give up on Canadian center Khem Birch, who would then sign with the Toronto Raptors, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Josh Robbins

Birch, 28, would give the Raptors another frontcourt option, correcting what has been the team’s biggest weakness this season

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse knows what Birch brings to the table thanks to the duo’s work with Canada’s National Men’s Team at the 2019 FIBA ​​World Cup Birch was thrilled with the style nurse’s training, so maybe the Raptors can unlock some other gear in the four-year veteran’s game

Toronto is currently 11th in the Eastern Conference, two games behind the Chicago Bulls for last place in the play-in tournament
