Kings' Juan Toscano-Anderson: Lands with Sacramento
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Kings on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Toscano-Anderson began the season with the G League's Mexico City Capitanes, where he averaged 19.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 35.0 minutes per game over 11 appearances. He's made at least 52 appearances in the NBA in each of the past three seasons while playing for the Warriors, Jazz and Lakers, and he'll be available to provide depth on the wing with his new team.
The Jazz renounced the free agent rights to Toscano-Anderson on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Toscano-Anderson split time between the Lakers and Jazz in 2022-23. In his 22 games for Utah, he averaged 3.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 15.2 minutes. Toscano-Anderson will enter the 2023-24 season as a free agent.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Nabs start Saturday
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson will start Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.
Toscano-Anderson has just one start under his belt since Jan. 15, but he'll add another to that list Saturday with Kelly Olynyk (rest) joining the list of starters sitting out the game. Toscano-Anderson is averaging just 4.3 points, 2.9 boards and 1.4 assists over 20.1 minutes per game in his eight previous starts this season, so the move doesn't guarantee he will return significant fantasy value.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Scores five off bench
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes during Friday's 122-114 loss to the Celtics.
Toscano-Anderson was moved back to the bench Friday with Kelly Olynyk (illness) back in action and played 17 minutes. He found success as a distributor, tying his season-high in assists while making two of his three shot attempts. Toscano-Anderson should continue to see steady work off the bench for as long as the Jazz are without Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Rudy Gay (back).

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson is listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.
With Kelly Olynyk (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (hand) watching from the sidelines Wednesday, the Jazz will go with a starting five featuring Talen Horton-Tucker, Ochai Agbaji, Simone Fontecchio, Toscano-Anderson and Walker Kessler. JTA should get some decent run given Utah's lack of depth, but he can be hit-or-miss, so he's not worth much more than a dart throw in deep leagues.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Making minimal impact
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson racked up two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Despite logging double-digit minutes for the third time in the last four games, Toscano-Anderson has averaged just 2.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over that stretch. He's unlikely to claim a much larger role, barring injuries in the frontcourt, so he can be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of league formats.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Available to debut Saturday
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson (trade) is available to make his Jazz debut during Saturday's game against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Toscano-Anderson was shipped to Utah in the three-team deal involving the Lakers and Timberwolves. His role fluctuated with the Lakers; the forward averaged 2.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 12.2 minutes. If he's part of Utah's regular rotation, it's doubtful his role will be significant enough for fantasy relevance. The Marquette product isn't a development priority for the rebuilding squad, as he's turning 30 years old later this season.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Won't play against Toronto
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson is out for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to his pending trade, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Toscano-Anderson was traded from the Lakers to the Jazz on Wednesday in a three-team deal that also involved Minnesota. While it is unclear what his role will be, his next opportunity to make his Jazz debut will be Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.
The Jazz acquired Toscano-Anderson from the Lakers on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal that also involved the Timberwolves, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Toscano-Anderson will head to Utah along with Russell Westbrook, Damian Jones and a top-four protected 2027 first-round pick, while the Lakers take back D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. Meanwhile, Minnesota receive Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Toscano-Anderson hadn't been a consistent part of the rotation in Los Angeles, and his outlook is unlikely to change dramatically in Utah. Perhaps he'll see some limited run behind starting forwards Lauri Markkanen and Kelly Olynyk, but Toscano-Anderson is likely looking at minutes in the teens in a best-case scenario if Utah retains relatively good health over the rest of the season.
