The Toronto Raptors have waived Cameron Payne, Matt Morgan and Devin Robinson, according to Michael Grange of Sportsnet.

The Raptors have 12 players on guaranteed contracts for the 2019-20 season, so there are now five players fighting for three spots: Chris Boucher, Malcolm Miller, Isaiah Taylor, Dewan Hernandez and Oshae Brissett.

Grange added that Boucher and Miller have contracts for the upcoming season that kick in if they aren't waived by Monday. They would each be on the books for $1.6 million next season, per HoopsHype.

Whichever two players don't make the final roster are candidates to sign two-way contracts with the Raptors. The others — Payne, Morgan and Robinson — could still end up on Toronto's G League affiliate, the Raptors 905.

The Raptors open the 2019-20 season on Tuesday, Oct. 22, when they host the New Orleans Pelicans.
