Gui Santos Injury News & Updates

Santos provided 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.

The 23-year-old got to the charity stripe often and provided a spark off the bench, finishing as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Pat Spencer (19). Although Santos was efficient from downtown and set a new season high in scoring, his 14 points marked his first outing in double figures across 17 regular-season appearances. The third-year forward hasn't been a consistent part of the Warriors' rotation of late, and he isn't guaranteed to see the floor when the team is at full strength.

Santos chipped in four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the 76ers.

Jimmy Butler (knee) joined a growing injury report in Golden State, allowing Santos to sneak back into the edge of the rotation. Santos has 16 appearances to his name this season, but he's averaged just 7.6 minutes per contest.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the G League on Wednesday.

The Warriors sent Santos, De'Anthony Melton (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) to the G League to participate in a scrimmage earlier Wednesday, and the trio has rejoined the NBA club after partaking in the scrimmage. Santos has become a fringe rotation piece recently.

Golden State assigned Santos to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

With Santos falling out of Golden State's rotation, this move makes a lot of sense in order for the forward to see some live reps.

Santos isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.

Santos made a spot start Wednesday, but he'll return to the second unit Friday. The 23-year-old played 18 minutes in the start, and he hadn't seen more than 12 minutes in a game previously.

Santos is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Santos will make his first start of the campaign Wednesday, stepping into the first unit due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (back), Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Al Horford (toe). Santos hasn't logged more than 12 minutes in a game this season.

Santos supplied five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes in Saturday's 114-109 loss to Indiana.

Santos logged double-digit minutes for just the second time this season Saturday and made the most of his opportunity, converting both of his field-goal attempts and finishing with a plus-six plus-minus. The forward has appeared in six of Golden State's seven games to start the year, averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per contest.

Santos added seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist and a steal over 23 minutes in Friday's 106-103 loss to the Clippers.

Despite tying with Buddy Hield to lead the bench unit in minutes played, Santos did not capitalize on the opportunity, despite having an efficient outing. Santos will likely be backing up Draymond Green at the power forward position to start the season, but will have to contend with Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield for playing time.

The Warriors exercised Santos' $2.2 million team option Sunday.

Santos saw his playing time increase significantly at the start of the new year. He finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 13.6 minutes per game in 56 contests (two starts). The 2022 second-round pick will likely be on the Warriors' summer league squad and will look to play well enough to earn a larger role in the rotation for the 2025-26 campaign.

Santos amassed four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 148-106 win over San Antonio.

Although he struggled shooting the ball, Santos made a strong impact on the game elsewhere. Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) left this game early, meaning Santos could see more run in the short term. He's only worth monitoring in very deep leagues, however, as his usage rate is very low.

Santos registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and three rebounds over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 loss to the Heat.

Even though Santos' minutes and role off the bench have been inconsistent in recent weeks, there's no question he made the most of his minutes in this one while making his presence felt as a shooter. Santos has scored in double digits just four times since the All-Star break, though, so it's hard to rely on him for consistent fantasy production, especially considering he has a relatively minor role off the bench in the current rotation.

Santos will come off the bench during Monday's game against Denver, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Quinten Post will supplant Santos in the starting five on Monday. The 22-year-old swingman was fairly quiet during his spot start in Saturday's win over the Knicks, during which he recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes.

Santos recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 win over the Knicks.

Santos moved into the starting lineup, with Draymond Green shifting to the center spot, resulting in Quentin Post sliding to the bench. Despite the promotion, Santos struggled to deliver anything of note, tallying single-digits for the fifth time in the past seven games. While he has managed to carve out a somewhat consistent role for himself, Santos remains more of a placeholder than a valuable piece.

Santos is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Knicks, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

The Warriors are tweaking their frontcourt for this contest and Santos will start at power forward, moving Draymond Green to center. Santos has made just one start this season, tallying five points, seven rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes in a win over the Timberwolves on Jan. 15.

Santos supplied five points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 17 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 win over the Rockets.

Santos recorded multiple steals for just the third time this season in Thursday's victory. Despite shooting 40.7 percent from behind the arc in 2024-25, Santos is only converting 26.7 percent of his 1.5 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 outings.

Santos (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Santos will return Saturday from a one-game absence due to a left knee injury. He has averaged 6.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 17.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Santos (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Santos was unable to play in Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Lakers due to left patella tendinitis, and the injury has put him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest. Santos has averaged 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 16.7 minutes per game since the beginning of January, but it's unclear how his role in the Warriors' rotation will change following Golden State's acquisition of Jimmy Butler on Wednesday.

Santos (knee) was active but wasn't available for Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Lakers.

After sitting out the entire second half of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to the Jazz due to left patella tendinitis, Santos had been listed as questionable for Thursday's contest. The Warriors ultimately downgraded him to out shortly before the opening tip, but Santos doesn't look as though he'll be headed for a long-term absence. Santos could be ready to go for the Warriors' next game Saturday in Chicago, but he may not be included in the rotation with Golden State expected to have the newly acquired Jimmy Butler available for that contest.

Santos (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Santos sat out the second half of Wednesday's loss to Utah with this injury, but he's considered day-to-day. With Jimmy Butler not available to make his Golden State debut, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could pick up a few minutes if Santos can't give it a go.

Santos did not play in the second half of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to Utah due to left patella tendinitis, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Santos logged four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) before exiting Wednesday. Considering the contest was the first leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Santos sit Thursday against the Lakers. If that's the case, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could see more minutes.

Santos provided 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 131-106 victory over the Bulls.

Santos had one of his most efficient performances of the season and scored in double digits for the fourth time across his last eight outings. The Brazilian has experienced a bigger role off the bench in recent weeks and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Over that aforementioned eight-game stretch, Santos is averaging 8.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists while logging 21.0 minutes per game.

Santos posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 loss to the Kings.

Santos has been seeing more minutes of late, logging at least 20 minutes in five of his last seven appearances, and he's making the most of the opportunity. The Brazilian forward is averaging 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 20.1 minutes per game during that seven-game stretch. He could have some upside in deep leagues as a streaming option.

Santos will move to the bench for Saturday's game against the Wizards, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

Draymond Green (illness) is returning from a three-game absence Saturday, so this is an expected move. Santos fared well in his fill-in start during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes.

Santos produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

The second-year forward made his first career start with Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (hamstring) all sidelined, and while Santos didn't make a big impact, he did pull down a season high in rebounds. Green shouldn't be out long, but there should still be a significant role for Santos in the Golden State frontcourt when he returns to the bench -- he's played more than 20 minutes in three of the last four games, averaging 7.3 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals during that span while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from long distance.

Santos will start in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

It'll be the first career start for Santos, who has come off the bench in each of his 38 appearances since 2023-24. The 22-year-old has reached double figures in scoring in two of his last three games, but it's hard to imagine the Warriors making this a long-term move once the team is healthier. With that said, Santos will have a chance to return enhanced fantasy value Wednesday.

Santos had 13 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 victory over the Pistons.

Santos had his best game of the season for the Warriors during Thursday's win against Detroit. The 22-year-old saw a significant boost in minutes, playing 26 against the Pistons to help shoulder the load with Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga out. He made the best of those minutes with an efficient shooting night, hitting four three-pointers in six attempts while grabbing five rebounds and two steals.

Santos chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across five minutes during Friday's 102-92 loss to the Clippers.

Santos appeared for just the eighth time this season, having played a total of 36 minutes to this point. With averages of 0.8 points and 0.4 assists in 4.4 minutes per game, it's fair to say Santos is right at the bottom when it comes to the pecking order in Golden State.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.

Santos has seen most of his reps at the G League level, and that's likely to continue. He'll likely be back with Santa Cruz prior to the G League Winter Showcase.

The Warriors assigned Santos to the G League's Sant Cruz Warriors on Friday.

Santos will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the NBA. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 14.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.8 minutes across four G League appearances.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Santos has been a key player for Santa Cruz, but he's yet to crack Golden State's rotation on a consistent basis this season.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday.

Santos continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and the G League. He's made only two NBA appearances in November, totaling eight minutes.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.

Santos spent the day with Santa Cruz, presumably to get some practice reps in. He's hardly seen the floor for Golden State, making six appearances this season with an average of 3.7 minutes per contest.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League on Saturday.

Santos will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and the G League. In five appearances for Golden State this season, Santos is averaging 1.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.0 minutes.

Golden State assigned Santos to its G League affiliate Santa Cruz on Wednesday.

Santos appeared in four of the Warriors' first five games of the campaign but has been pushed out of the rotation in November. He'll head down to the G League to get some additional reps.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Tuesday.

Santa Cruz did not have a game, so Santos likely went there to get some practice reps before rejoining Golden State. He remains on the fringe of the rotation at the NBA level.

Santos tallied eight points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 86-73 loss to Germany in the Paris Olympics.

Santos has had a poor start to the Olympics despite being the only current NBA player on Brazil's roster. He was still able to lead the team in minutes played despite fouling out. Santos will need to bounce back against Japan if Brazil has any chance of avoiding three straight losses in the group phase.

Santos tallied nine points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, three steals and two rebounds across 24 minutes in Brazil's 78-66 loss to France in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Santos is the only current NBA player on Brazil's Olympic roster, and he struggled in his Olympic debut against France on Saturday. The 22-year-old is coming off his rookie season with the Warriors, during which he averaged 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds across 8.3 minutes in 23 regular-season games. Brazil is going to have an uphill battle in the group phase, and they will need guys to step up as the squad has yet to play both Japan and Germany.

Santos is on the Brazilian national team roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Santos made 23 appearances for the Warriors in 2023-24, averaging 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes but will now shift his offseason focus to the Olympics. With Santos being the only player for Brazil currently on an NBA roster, he will likely be one of the team's focal points in Paris.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday.

Santos struggled with his shot during Santa Cruz's loss to the Stockton Kings in the G League playoffs on Thursday, scoring only 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting, including 1-for-6 from deep. However, he made an impact defensively, grabbing nine boards and blocking three shots. With Santa Cruz's season over, Santos figures to provide depth for Golden State over the final week of the regular season.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the G League Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Santos will likely serve as a depth option while with Golden State. He's appeared in 18 games this season but is averaging only 8.4 minutes.

The Warriors assigned Santos to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday.

Santos will return to the G League after a brief stint in the NBA. Santos is averaging 14.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.6 minutes across 28 appearances for Santa Cruz this season.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday.

Santos will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. However, the 21-year-old forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time for Golden State.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.

Santos will be available for Monday's game against the Knicks, but it's unclear if he'll see any playing time. With injuries and suspensions depleting Golden State's roster, Santos carved out a role in early February, but since then, he's appeared in just six of the last 17 games, playing double-digit minutes only once during that stretch.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.

Santos hasn't been very involved with Golden State recently, averaging 6.7 minutes across his last six appearances.

Santos (knee) totaled five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes in Sunday's 140-88 loss to the Celtics.

Santos turned in one of the better fantasy lines among all Warriors players Sunday, but there's little to take away from the performance on a day in which Golden State was throttled from the opening tip and faced a 44-point deficit at halftime. The rookie forward out of Brazil didn't check into the game until 7:16 remained in the third quarter, when the Warriors were trailing by 51 and head coach Steve Kerr had essentially conceded defeat. Santos will likely be outside of Kerr's rotation in competitive contests, but the 21-year-old at least showed during his garbage-time minutes that he's healthy again after missing about a week of action with a right knee injury.

Santos (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

As expected, Santos has been upgraded from probable to available. He missed the past week with knee soreness and was an inconsistent part of the rotation before then, but there are minutes available Sunday, as Brandin Podziemski (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (personal) are unavailable.

Santos (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Santos has been sidelined for a week with knee soreness but is expected to be available Sunday. He's an inconsistent part of Golden State's rotation, but the Warriors could use his depth if Stephen Curry (knee) and Brandin Podziemski (knee) join Andrew Wiggins (personal) as unavailable.

Santos (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

As expected, Santos has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to right knee inflammation. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Boston.

Santos (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Santos is expected to miss his fourth straight game Friday due to right knee inflammation. However, the 21-year-old forward's potential absence won't impact Golden State's rotation.

Santos (knee), who will miss a second straight game Tuesday against the Wizards, said he believes he'll be ready to play by next week, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Santos injured his right knee during his appearance for the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday, but he doesn't believe he's dealing with a long-term injury after a recent MRI revealed nothing more than inflammation. Before hurting his knee, Santos had appeared in just three of his previous six outings with Golden State, playing no more than five minutes on any occasion.

Santos (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Wizards.

Santos will miss his second straight game due to some soreness in his right knee. The rotation likely won't change much, as Chris Paul will be back in the mix Tuesday.

Santos won't be available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right knee soreness.

The sore knee likely explains why Santos was limited to playing just 12 minutes for the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors in a 118-112 loss to Raptors 905 on Saturday before Golden State recalled him Sunday. Santos' absence against the Nuggets hurts the Warriors' frontcourt depth, though the rookie hadn't been a fixture in head coach Steve Kerr's rotation of late anyway.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Santos is averaging 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds on 56.5 percent shooting in 10.5 minutes across eight appearances in February. That being said, his role has shrunk to end-of-bench duties of late, appearing in three of the Warriors' past five games and compiling just 11 total minutes of action.

Santos (knee) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Jazz.

Santos was previously considered questionable, but he'll power through his knee soreness. The forward has seen his role increased in recent games, as he's averaging 14.4 minutes per game through five February contests.

Santos is questionable for Monday's game against Utah due to left knee soreness.

Santos went unused off the bench in Saturday's win over Phoenix, but the 21-year-old had averaged 6.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14.6 minutes across five prior contests. Even if he overcomes the knee issue ahead of Monday's contest, Santos is unlikely to crack the rotation if the Warriors have all their other key forwards available.

Santos totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 131-109 win over Indiana.

Santos logged a season-high 21 minutes Thursday and finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been the first double-double of his career. He also posted multiple career-high marks across the board, though in the long run, he's expected to remain a bench option for Golden State -- and a player not worth targeting in most fantasy formats.

Santos logged nine points (3-5 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 18 minutes during Monday's 109-98 victory over Brooklyn.

Playing in just his ninth game for Golden State, Santos posted multiple career highs in the win. The Warriors could certainly use more consistent play from their bench, and Santos may have earned himself another look from coach Steve Kerr with this performance.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Santos most recently logged 10 minutes of NBA action in a Jan 10. blowout loss to New Orleans. He profiles as end-of-bench forward depth for the Warriors.

Santos (ankle) isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

The Warriors recalled Santos on Sunday, but he was dealing with an ankle injury and missed Golden State's loss to Toronto. With Chris Paul (hand) and Draymond Green (conditioning) unavailable, Santos may provide emergency depth, but he figures to report back to the G League before too long.

Santos has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Toronto due to a left ankle sprain.

Santos was recalled from the G League on Sunday, but he won't be able to suit up for the parent club against Toronto. Whether he'll be available Wednesday against the Pelicans remains to be seen.

Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Santos has logged just 22 total minutes across four appearances for Golden State this season. Chris Paul (fractured hand) is set to miss the next 4-to-6 weeks, however, making Santos slightly more relevant as emergency or garbage time guard depth.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League on Wednesday.

Santos will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns. Santos is averaging 21.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 28.9 minutes across his first four appearances for the Santa Cruz Warriors this season.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the Santa Cruz Warriors on the G League.

Santos has yet to make an NBA appearance after being drafted in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. He is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 27.7 minutes across two appearances for Santa Cruz so far in 2023-24.

Santos was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League on Wednesday.

Santos inked a three-year deal with the NBA Warriors on Monday, but it appears he'll start the G League season in the G League with Santa Cruz. Considering his long-term deal, it's likely Santos will split time between the NBA and G League in 2023-24.

Santos is signing a three-year contract with the Warriors on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Santos was selected by the Warriors in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft and had been playing with the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors. However, he needed a guaranteed 15-man roster spot to be bought out of his contract in Brazil, per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area. He'll join the Warriors' active roster, but it seems unlikely that he'll be a consistent part of the team's rotation.

Santos tallied 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 100-94 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

Santos was a second-round pick by Golden State last year, and he played exclusively in the G League as a rookie, averaging 10.9 points for Santa Cruz. The 6-foot-8 forward figures to have a solid role for the Warriors' Summer League squad over the next two weeks, but Lester Quinones is the team's go-to playmaker.
