Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Making minimal impact
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson racked up two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Despite logging double-digit minutes for the third time in the last four games, Toscano-Anderson has averaged just 2.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over that stretch. He's unlikely to claim a much larger role, barring injuries in the frontcourt, so he can be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of league formats.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Available to debut Saturday
Rotowire
Toscano-Anderson (trade) is available to make his Jazz debut during Saturday's game against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Toscano-Anderson was shipped to Utah in the three-team deal involving the Lakers and Timberwolves. His role fluctuated with the Lakers; the forward averaged 2.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 12.2 minutes. If he's part of Utah's regular rotation, it's doubtful his role will be significant enough for fantasy relevance. The Marquette product isn't a development priority for the rebuilding squad, as he's turning 30 years old later this season.

Jazz's Juan Toscano-Anderson: Shipped to Utah
Rotowire
The Jazz acquired Toscano-Anderson from the Lakers on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal that also involved the Timberwolves, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Toscano-Anderson will head to Utah along with Russell Westbrook, Damian Jones and a top-four protected 2027 first-round pick, while the Lakers take back D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. Meanwhile, Minnesota receive Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Toscano-Anderson hadn't been a consistent part of the rotation in Los Angeles, and his outlook is unlikely to change dramatically in Utah. Perhaps he'll see some limited run behind starting forwards Lauri Markkanen and Kelly Olynyk, but Toscano-Anderson is likely looking at minutes in the teens in a best-case scenario if Utah retains relatively good health over the rest of the season.
