  • Warriors' J.P. Tokoto: Grans 10 boards in playoff loss

    Tokoto logged seven points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 87-69 Vegas Summer League playoff loss to the Hornets.

    After being selected in the second round by the 76'ers during the 2015 NBA Draft, Tokoto has struggled to catch on with a team. He has bounced around G-League teams for Philadelphia and Houston before landing on Golden State's Summer League roster. the UNC product has loads of athletic ability but has had difficulty perfecting his jump shot and a few other fundamentals. Wednesday's game was perhaps his best stat line in quite some time, and it's unlikely he'll make the Warriors roster this season. He will probably catch on with a G-League team, though.

  • Warriors' J.P. Tokoto: Secures summer league spot

    Tokoto will play for the Warriors during summer league, Mark Medina of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    This year will mark Tokoto's fourth summer league appearance since being drafted in the second round of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Sixers. He has yet to appear in an NBA game, but played in the G-League during the 2015-16 season and 2016-17 season. Last year, he found minutes overseas with Perth, a team in the Australian NBL. There, he started 29 of the 30 games he appeared in, averaging 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 46.4 percent from the field.

  • Knicks' J.P. Tokoto: Released by Knicks

    Tokoto was released by the Knicks on Friday, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

    Tokoto was one of the last picks in the 2015 NBA Draft after leaving North Carolina a year early and will now be looking for work after yet another cut. Tokoto could end up on the Knicks' D-League affiliate, but the worst case scenario for the high-flying guard is a spot with a team overseas.

  • Knicks' J.P. Tokoto: Signs with Knicks

    Tokoto signed Tuesday with the Knicks on a partially guaranteed contract, ESPN.com's Ian Begley reports.

    The 58th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Tokoto was released by the 76ers shortly before the beginning of last season. He went on to spend most of the season with the Thunder's D-League squad before joining the Knicks for summer league play this past July. He apparently made enough of an impression to earn a training camp invite, but the odds are against him making the Knicks' final roster.

  • J.P. Tokoto: Waived by Sixers

    Tokoto was released by the Sixers on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Tokoto registered a mere 10 minutes per game throughout the preseason, so it comes as no surprise that Philadelphia let him go. Although the rookie was unable to keep up with the NBA's high-caliber defenses, he has potential to be a top player in the D-League or overseas.
