Golden State Warriors guard Juan Toscano-Anderson suffered a head injury after a scary fall in a game against the Boston Celtics on April 17. Toscano-Anderson suffered from a concussion, and from a cut that needed 35 stitches, per Anthony Slater.
The second-year player will be fine for the Warriors, but he provided some details about the fall during a virtual interview. Based on Slater's clip, Toscano-Anderson sounds thankful for his opportunity to play professional basketball, and thankful the injury wasn't worse.

Juan Toscano-Anderson was chasing a ball going out of bounds to prevent the Warriors from committing a turnover. He fell over the reporter's table and hit his head on the ground, which apparently was the same area Stephen Curry had “hit his butt on,” and been injured, according to Toscano-Anderson.
The Warriors guard has spent most of his basketball career in the G League after playing at Marquette. The 2019-20 season was his first official year in the NBA and has been playing a rotational role for Golden State since his arrival.
He is a true competitor by nature for the Warriors. Juan Toscano-Anderson claims he would “make that play 10 times out of 10.” As long as his team is in the game, you can expect Toscano-Anderson to go 100 percent.
It's nice to see that he'll be fine after suffering a scary moment. Toscano-Anderson seems like he's ready to play and should be re-joining the Warriors lineup as soon as possible. With just 12 games left in the regular season, Golden State is going to need his passion for the game to help them secure a spot in the play-in round this year. The Dubs have had to labor through this season without Klay Thompson, a reminder that this is not the roster they intended to carry for 72 games plus the postseason. Toscano-Anderson has enabled Golden State to stay afloat and hope for a run when the playoffs begin.
