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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: 'In the mix' for spot in starting lineup
Rotowire
Santos is "in the mix" for a spot in the starting lineup, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Per head coach Steve Kerr, there will be "an open competition" for the three spots in the starting lineup alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Santos is coming off his best season with the Warriors in 2025-26. The 2022 No. 55 overall pick appeared in 68 regular-season games, including 30 starts, and averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists, all career highs, across 20.5 minutes per contest. While Santos could earn an opportunity to start come opening night, that may not last, considering Kerr has been known to change things up throughout any given season. The same is true if Santos begins the 2026-27 campaign as a reserve.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Focusing on training-camp prep
Rotowire
Santos won't play for Brazil during the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and is focusing on preparing for the Warriors' training camp, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Santos opting out of international duty, he should have a full offseason runway to get ready for Golden State's training camp. That choice keeps his attention on team preparation after he finished last season in a significant role, including 30 minutes in the Warriors' Play-In loss to Phoenix. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) rehabbing to start the 2026-27 season, Santos could reclaim a rotation spot right away, putting him on fantasy radars.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Plays through injury with 15 points
Rotowire
Santos (pelivs) notched 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 loss to the Rockets.
Although Santos' recent history against the Rockets was underwhelming heading into Sunday's matchup, he finished with a solid number in the defeat. The Warriors' front three are still a work in progress, as Kristaps Porzingis' results have been volatile since joining the team. Draymond Green has been steady in a slightly adjusted role, and Santos has been a savior for the team, given the shallow rotation of only nine players. The loss of Moses Moody (knee) opened up the door for Santos to make a nightly impact.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Scores 20 points in loss
Rotowire
Santos notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.
Santos came close to matching his season-best scoring mark of 22 points, established March 7 in a loss to the Thunder, and the Brazilian forward continues to leave his mark in an expanded role for the shorthanded Warriors. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his 12 games since the All-Star break, averaging 15.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 33.3 minutes per game. Santos is certainly making the most of his opportunity, but he could return to a bench role when the Warriors get healthier.
