TORONTO (AP) - Toronto signed forward DeMarre Carroll on Thursday, a week after the forward originally announced his deal with the Raptors on Twitter.
The team held a press conference for the 28-year-old Carroll, who agreed to a four-year deal worth $60 million.
Carroll announced July 1 he was joining the Raptors on Twitter when the free agency window opened.
Carroll, the former Missouri Tiger who averaged 12.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in 70 games for the Atlanta Hawks last season, was touted as one of the top players available at his position.
A strong defender and outside shooting threat, Carroll started 69 games and helped the Hawks to a franchise-high 60 wins and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs last season.
He suffered a knee injury in Game 1 of the third round against Cleveland.
While Carroll had already confirmed the deal, NBA rules prevented the team from announcing it until Thursday.
