With the Warriors set to face Kevin Durant and the Nets in their first game of the season, Kerith Burke spoke with KD about the relationship he still has with Steph Curry, Draymond Green and the rest of the team.
The Warriors made an expected move ahead of their season opener against the Brooklyn Nets by signing Juan Toscano-Anderson to a two-way contract, the team announced Tuesday.
The Athletic's Shams Charania was the first to report the news.
The Warriors waived Toscano-Anderson on Saturday as their final roster cutdown move, giving the 15th spot to Mychal Mulder. After waiving Toscano-Anderson, coach Steve Kerr noted it was a hard decision because he likes how the guard plays the game and hoped the Warriors could bring back the Oakland native on a two-way contract.
