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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Listed as questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
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 recently experienced a more significant role off the bench and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Over that eight-game stretch, Santos is averaging 8.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists while logging 21.0 minutes per game.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Productive off bench in loss
Rotowire
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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Season-best effort on glass
Rotowire
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 significant impact, he did pull down a season high in rebounds. Green shouldn't be out long, but there should still be a substantial 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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: First career start Wednesday
Rotowire
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. That said, Santos will have a chance to return enhanced fantasy value Wednesday.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Solid outing in win
Rotowire
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. With Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga out, Santos saw a significant boost in minutes, playing 26 to help shoulder the load. The 22-year-old 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 will be available for Monday's game against the Knicks, but it's unclear if he'll see any playing time.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Out at least one week
Rotowire
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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Out Sunday with sore knee
Rotowire
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.
