The Raptors acquired the 39-year-old Camby in a deal with the New York Knicks last week, in which they sent forward Andrea Bargnani to the Big Apple. In 24 games with the Knicks last season, Camby averaged 1.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

The former NBA defensive player of the year was originally selected by the Raptors out of UMass with the second overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft. In 973 career games, Camby has averaged 9.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
