SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â Emerging from a challenging East Oakland youth when he cheered for the Golden State Warriors from a cramped house, Juan Toscano-Anderson now has that coveted contract from his hometown team.
He is inspiring millions in Mexico where he played and has heritage, too.
The Warriors signed the former two-way forward to a multiyear deal Thursday, also bringing back forward Jordan Bell for the remainder of the season. Toscano-Anderson has long been determined to prove he s in the NBA for the long haul, talented enough to stay put.
After two seasons,
Jordan Bell is back in the Bay Area rocking the yellow and blue after signing a two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors.
This move was in the works for a bit, after it was reported last week that the team planned to sign forward Juan Toscano-Anderson to a two-year, fully-guaranteed contract.
For those that may not know, two-way contracts are only available for players who have spent four or fewer seasons in the league. Players on two-way contracts usually spend most of their time playing in the G League, but typically can be called up to the NBA at any time for a maximum of 45 days.
