The Golden State Warriors brought back forward Alex Toohey on an Exhibit 10 contract, giving the 22-year-old Australian another shot at making the roster. Warriors Wire reported the move comes after Toohey spent last season on a two-way deal but appeared in only two G League games due to a left knee injury that required surgery. The non-guaranteed deal allows Toohey to compete in training camp while he continues his recovery.
From Sydney Kings to NBA Training Camp
Toohey came to Golden State as the 52nd overall pick in the 2025 draft after the Warriors traded down from No. 41 with the Phoenix Suns. Last Word on Sports noted that Toohey was originally acquired from Phoenix in a seven-team deal involving Kevin Durant. The 6-foot-7 forward earned the NBL's Next Generation Award with the Sydney Kings, earning praise for his size, versatility and guard-like skills that fit the modern NBA.
Injury Setback Derailed Last Season
Toohey's 2024-25 season was cut short when a left knee injury limited him to just two G League appearances with the Santa Cruz Warriors, where he scored 14 points in 39 minutes. The injury forced him to miss Summer League and eventually required surgery, leading to his waiver. This Exhibit 10 deal gives him the chance to prove he has recovered and can contribute at the professional level.
A Path Back Through G League Development
If Toohey does not make Golden State's 15-player NBA roster, he can continue developing with the Santa Cruz Warriors. According to Blue Man Hoop, the Exhibit 10 contract could provide a bonus of up to $91,000 in addition to his G League base salary if he spends at least 60 days with Santa Cruz. This financial incentive rewards players who stay committed to the development team and meet performance milestones.
Warriors Complete Offseason Roster Moves
Toohey's signing brings Golden State to the 21-player limit for training camp, giving the team flexibility to evaluate talent before finalizing the regular season roster. Real GM Basketball confirmed the agreement on the Exhibit 10 deal. However, one notable absence remains: 2026 second-round pick Lajae Jones has yet to sign with the Warriors, leaving that roster spot still available for the offseason.
