Former Warriors NBA champion forward leaving NBA to play in Italy<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes, it\u2019s time for a change after spending several years in the NBA.<\/p>\n

A former Golden State Warriors NBA champion wholeheartedly agrees with that sentiment, as he recently signed<\/a> with an Italy-based overseas club for the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuan Toscano-Anderson has signed with Pallacanestro Trieste,\u201d European basketball insider Luca D’Alessandro announced Thursday.<\/a> \u201cVia Il Piccolo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toscano enjoyed brief stints in Mexico and Venezuela before joining Golden State\u2019s G-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, in 2018.<\/p>\n

However, the Oakland, California native didn\u2019t receive his big break until 2020, when he inked a multi-year deal with the big dogs.<\/p>\n

During the Warriors\u2019 2021-22 championship campaign, Toscano-Anderson averaged 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 48.9% from the field and 32.2% from deep.<\/p>\n

However, Toscano-Anderson\u2019s stint with Golden State ended after the franchise\u2019s NBA Finals win over the Boston Celtics, as the Marquette product was on the move that summer.<\/p>\n

Toscano-Anderson secured a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, but only lasted half a season with the organization before getting traded to the Utah Jazz to finish the 2022-23 campaign.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old has only appeared in 11 NBA contests since the start of the 2023-24 season, motivating him to return to overseas basketball.<\/p>\n

While age isn\u2019t on Toscano-Anderson\u2019s side, there\u2019s still a possibility he could make an NBA comeback under the right circumstances.<\/p>\n
