The 27-year-old point guard has not played in the NBA this season, but has appeared in five games with the Raptors 905 of the G League, averaging 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists.
Fultz played 21 games with the Sacramento Kings last season, averaging just under nine minutes of playing time.
Following an impressive collegiate career with Washington, the Philadelphia 76ers used their No. 1 pick to select Fultz in 2017.
Injuries hampered Fultz‘s two seasons in Philadelphia as he only appeared in 33 games.
Fultz joined the Orlando Magic in 2019-20, spending five years with the organization before joining the Kings last season.
Over 255 career games in the NBA, the native of Upper Marlboro, Md., has averaged 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists.
The 39-31 Raptors sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks and 76ers. Toronto is in Utah on Monday night to play the Jazz.
