Juan Toscano-Anderson Made History With Warriors

After going undrafted out of Marquette in 2015, Toscano-Anderson played internationally in Mexico and Venezuela before latching on in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors in 2018.

In February 2020, Toscano-Anderson signed a three-year contract with Golden State. The Warriors released Toscano-Anderson that December but re-signed him to a two-way contract later that month.
