Stephen Curry and Juan Toscano-Anderson have been teammates for two years. Anderson came into the squad during the hard times. Now, he has left it when the NBA trophy has come rolling in. Curry led them to their 4th trophy in eight seasons. But surprisingly, Anderson has left the Warriors to go to sunny LA.

The magic of the Lakers allured him away from San Francisco. Nonetheless, Curry congratulated his teammate on his new destination. He, too, knows the offer of playing with LeBron James doesn’t come easy. It will be extra difficult for Anderson, as he was born and raised in Oakland and was the hometown lad on the team.

Toscano-Anderson agreed to a three-year contract with the Golden State Warriors on February 6, 2020. He scored 16 points, an NBA career best, on February 23, 2020, while playing the Pelicans.
