The San Francisco 49ers weren't the Bay Area's only team forging an Australian connection this week.
Alex Toohey , the forward from Canberra, Australia, originally drafted by the Golden State Warriors before being waived is coming back for training camp, according to multiple reports.

Toohey was Golden State's top selection in the 2025 draft, at No. 52 overall, but has yet to appear in an NBA game and played only two games for G League Santa Cruz because of a knee injury. He was waived in December so that the Warriors could sign Malevy Leons .
Toohey and Leons will be among the crop of players competing for the Warriors' pair of two-way slots when they open training camp later this month in Hawaii. Also expected to be in the mix are sharpshooter LJ Cryer , rookie guard Lajae Jones and Deivon Smith and Graham Ike , who like Toohey both inked Exhibit 10 deals for training camp.

The signing brings the Warriors' roster to 20 players, one shy of the offseason maximum. After a quiet summer, they've rounded out their 15-man roster in recent weeks with veterans Georges Niang and Brandon Williams on minimum contracts.
Dalen Terry , the former Bulls first-round pick, will also be in training camp but must earn a spot on the full-time roster; the 6-foot-6 wing is ineligible for a two-way contract.
The Warriors report Sept. 29 for training camp, which runs through Oct. 3 on the campus of BYU-Hawaii, before opening their preseason slate against the Clippers on Oct. 4 in Honolulu.
