The Golden State Warriors suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, pushing them two games behind the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference standings. During the game, Juan Toscano-Anderson took a hard fall after saving the ball from going out of bounds.
The second-year forward was on the floor for quite some time before being helped off the court. Later, it was found Toscano-Anderson suffered a concussion, and according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater, he will be entering the NBA's concussion protocol.
The Warriors forward took to social media himself to let everyone know he's okay after taking that hard fall. He also says he'd do it again, showing how much heart he has for the game. Toscano-Anderson is known for going all out whenever he takes the court, and he proved that on Saturday night against the Boston Celtics.
I’m A1, thanks for the wishes. And if I had to do it again, I would! Ten times out of ten!

Juan Toscano-Anderson is more commonly known for his time playing at Marquette. He entered the NBA Draft back in 2015, however, he went undrafted that year. He spent time playing in Mexico before joining the Warriors' G League team in Santa Cruz in 2018. The 28-year-old got his first taste of the NBA during the 2019-20 season, and he's currently playing on a two-way contract.
Toscano-Anderson is playing his heart out with the hopes of earning a full-time NBA contract. With his hustle to go after the ball, it's no question that he is hungry and determined to be in the league. It's always nice to have a hustle player who does the dirty work, and Toscano-Anderson has no problem being that guy for Golden State.
Let's hope he's not out too long, because he's an integral role player as the Warriors continue their playoff push. Golden State holds a 28-29 record on the season.
