Overview
- Hoops Rumors, citing ESPN’s Anthony Slater, reports Golden State is signing Malevy Leons to a two-way contract and releasing two-way wing Alex Toohey.
- Toohey is being waived because he needs knee surgery and is out for the season, clearing the way for the roster move.
- Leons averaged 14.8 points and 7.6 rebounds with the G League’s OKC Blue and made six brief NBA appearances for the Thunder last season.
- The Netherlands native debuted professionally at home, moved to U.S. junior college at Mineral Area, then starred at Bradley as a two-time MVC Defensive Player of the Year before going undrafted in 2024.
- Reports characterize Leons as a defense-first forward with length, offering frontcourt depth on a low-commitment two-way slot.
