In a dazzling display of grit and versatility, Sydney Kings star and former NBL Next Star Alex Toohey set the 2025 NBA Summer League ablaze, powering the Golden State Warriors to a commanding 96-84 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday at the Thomas and Mack Centre in Las Vegas. The Australian sensation, donning jersey #240, delivered a performance that had fans buzzing and scouts scribbling furiously.
Fresh off two stellar outings, Toohey earned another start and made every minute count. The young forward stuffed the stat sheet with four points, four rebounds, two emphatic blocks, one assist, and a steal, showcasing his all-around game. His defensive prowess, highlighted by those rim-rattling blocks, disrupted Memphis’ rhythm, while his hustle on the boards and sharp playmaking helped Golden State maintain control throughout the 12-point rout.
The Warriors, now boasting a 2-1 record in the Summer League, are riding high on Toohey’s momentum as they gear up to face the Indiana Pacers on July 17. If Toohey continues to shine, the Dubs might just have a secret weapon in their quest for Summer League dominance.
Meanwhile, in other Sydney Kings-related action, Brian Goorjian’s New York Knicks notched their first Vegas win, outlasting the Brooklyn Nets 97-93 in a thrilling showdown. The Kings’ fingerprints are all over the Summer League, and Toohey’s breakout performance is proof that Australian talent is ready to take the NBA by storm.
