Raptors new guard Bruce Brown sealed the deal by purchasing Porter's No. 11 jersey for $10,000, as reported by Sportsnet's Savanna Hamilton during Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

In the aftermath of Toronto's 110-116 loss to Chicago, Brown revealed that he had contacted his former Denver Nuggets teammate, Michael Porter Jr., to inquire about his brother Jontay's willingness to part with jersey No. 11.

Brown jokingly said, "I make enough to try to bribe him a little bit."

Also, he anticipated a higher price tag, stating, "I thought he was going to ask for more."

Brown and Porter Jr. celebrated an NBA championship last season.

The Raptors' acquisition of Brown, along with forward Jordan Nwora and guard Kira Lewis Jr., accompanied by three first-round picks, came through a three-team trade that saw Pascal Siakam heading to the Pacers on Wednesday.

Brown debuted by accumulating 15 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes, including a standout performance in the fourth quarter where he netted 8 of his points.
