Who is Juan Toscano-Anderson? Curry's teammate makes stellar introduction on Twitter

Stephen Curry is arguably one of the greatest shooters of the basketball and the 32-year-old was in fine form during the Golden State Warriors' win over the Orlando Magic. Curry managed to score 40 points on the night, in yet another eye-catching performance by the two-time NBA MVP. The Warriors legend is known to look away from the basket after his release, but his teammates are now getting in on the action with Juan Toscano-Anderson joining in on the fun.

Juan Toscano-Anderson Warriors career and stats 

Toscano-Anderson is an unknown entity when it comes to NBA, and made it to the G League before the 2018/19 season. In February last year, the Warriors called him up from the G League and signed him to a three-year minimum deal and he chose the No. 95. The 27-year-old averaged 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 13 games, including six starts, before the Warriors’ season ended prematurely due to the pandemic. He was subsequently waived in the off-season and signed on a two-way deal just days later with the franchise. Toscano-Anderson has a solid case to get his two-way contract converted to a full NBA contract and the Warriors will have to cut from their roster to make space for him.
