Veteran forward Juan Toscano-Anderson has signed with Pallacanestro Trieste of Italy’s Lega Basket Serie A, the club announced on August 16. The press release indicates the 32-year-old agreed to a one-year contract.
“Bringing a player of the caliber of Juan Toscano-Anderson to Trieste is much more than a market operation; it is a milestone in the history of our club,” club president and owner Paul Matiasic said in the statement, lauding the forward’s resilience, work ethic, and championship experience.
Italian daily Il Piccolo first reported Trieste’s interest earlier this week. The team previously added former NBA guard Jahmi’us Ramsey and is coming off a 2024-25 campaign in which it finished 18-12 and entered the Serie A playoffs as the No. 6 seed before falling to No. 3 Brescia in the opening round.

The 6’6” wing split the 2022-23 season between the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz and appeared briefly with the Sacramento Kings in 2023-24.
