Santos registered 10 points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 101-89 preseason win over the Lakers.
Santos seems to have already stitched up an Opening Night starting position, so he's looking to reinforce head coach Steve Kerr's belief in him. Santos averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 30 regular-season games as a starter in 2025-26.
