The Golden State Warriors have waived Alex Toohey, Dalen Terry, and Tyler Burton as they finalize their roster ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. Toohey's departure drew significant attention after he was shown on the Chase Center JumboTron during Game 1 of the WNBA Finals roughly 30 minutes before his release was announced.
