Saturday marked the return of basketball for the Golden State Warriors with the California Classic Summer League opener. Despite the return of hoops to Chase Center, Golden State’s new rookies Alex Toohey and Will Richard’s Summer League debut will have to wait.
The Warriors were without both 2025 second-round picks Alex Toohey and Will Richard in Saturday’s California Classic opener against the Los Angeles Lakers.
According to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area, Toohey and Richard weren’t able to play on Saturday due to their draft day trades being unofficial.

Prior to the start of the second round, the Warriors traded the No. 41 overall selection to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a pair of second-rounders. The Warriors used the No. 52 overall pick to select Toohey out of Australia. The Warriors then made another trade with the Memphis Grizzlies to move up to the No. 56 overall pick to draft Richard out of Florida.
The Warriors will play three games in the California Classic before moving to Las Vegas for the remainder of the Summer League.
