Power forward Juan Toscano-Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes reported.
The economic details of the contract have not been revealed, but in the same way the departure of the Mexican from the current NBA champions is already confirmed. The Golden State Warriors did not extend Toscano-Anderson’s qualifying offer, so he became a free agent.
The star point guard and current MVP of the NBA Finals, Stephen Curry, sent a farewell message to Toscano-Anderson after learning of his departure from the organization.
“Always a champion and always doing it for Oakland. Good luck my boy Juan T,” Curry said on his Twitter account.
