PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers forward Mouhamadou Gueye is taking a step up as he signs a new contract with the Toronto Raptors. 

Gueye, who spent one season at Pitt as a graduate transfer, previously signed a 10-day contract with the Raptors, is now a permanent member of their organization after signing a two-way deal. The Athletic's Shams Charania was first to report the news. 

Gueye has spent most of his time his time away from Pitt in the G League. He played in one game for the Raptors this season, logging six minutes, two points, three rebounds and two blocks in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Gueye has been with the Raptors for three games. 

He's played most of his professional career for the Texas Legends, an affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks. He averaged nine points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game while making 55.9% of his field goals over 11 appearances last season.

At the 2023 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, Gueye appeared in all five games, starting three for the Raptors. He averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 block per game while making 44.8% of his field goals.

He enjoyed a decorated two-year career at Stony Brook, where he earned a reputation as an all-league defender. At Pitt, Gueye added a diverse offensive game to his defensive pedigree, averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per night while knocking down 36% of his 3-point shots over a career-high 29 minutes per game.
