Toronto forward Joey Graham will stay through the 2008-09 season after the Raptors exercised their fourth-year option Monday.

"I think Joey's earned it; he's gotten better every year," coach Sam Mitchell said. "He's a guy you definitely want to keep on your roster."

The team had until Oct. 31 to exercise its option on Graham, who is making just under $1.6 million this season. He will earn about $2.4 million next season. Graham has averaged 6.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in two seasons with Toronto.
