In a surprising development, guard Au’Diese Toney has signed a four-year contract with an undisclosed team, effectively locking him in until 2028. The terms of the deal have not been publicly disclosed, but sources indicate that the contract includes performance-based incentives and a substantial signing bonus.
Toney, a Huntsville, Alabama native, began his professional career with the Lakeland Magic in the NBA G League during the 2022-2023 season. He averaged 8.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game over 28 appearances. In October 2023, he signed with the Denver Nuggets but was waived shortly after. He subsequently joined the Grand Rapids Gold, where he played 28 regular-season games, averaging 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. citeturn0search1
In September 2024, Toney’s returning player rights were acquired by the Long Island Nets in a four-team trade. However, his tenure with the Nets was short-lived, as he signed with Kolossos Rodou of the Greek Basketball League in July 2024. He later moved to Bashkimi in the Kosovo Superleague in February 2025. citeturn0search12
