Warriors' Quinten Post: Scores 19 points with three treys
Rotowire
Post supplied 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 loss to the Heat.
The Warriors were desperate for some offense in this one with Stephen Curry (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (back) taking the night off, and Post filled that role, finishing with a season high in points and as Golden State's second-leading scorer. Post can come through with solid stat lines sporadically, but he struggles to do it consistently.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Solid numbers in Sunday's start
Rotowire
Post contributed 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 114-83 win over the Pacers.
Making his sixth start in the last nine games, the second-year center tied his season highs in points and rebounding against an undermanned Indiana frontcourt that was missing Pascal Siakam (rest). Post will continue bouncing between the starting five and the second unit depending on matchups and the availability of Al Horford, who played 18 minutes off the bench Sunday. During that nine-game stretch, Post is averaging 7.8 points, 4.9 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.1 assists and 1.4 blocks plus steals in just 18.2 minutes a contest.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Promoted to starting role
Rotowire
Post is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Head coach Steve Kerr decided to tweak his lineup for the second leg of the back-to-back set, meaning Post will handle frontcourt duties alongside Draymond Green. Post, a second-year center out of Boston College, logged 13 minutes off the bench combined in Golden State's first two games.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Limited to nine minutes
Rotowire
Post finished Tuesday's 119-109 victory over the Lakers with two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes.
Post's workload was discouraging Tuesday. Al Horford saw 20 minutes off the bench, as the Warriors leaned on their small-ball lineups Tuesday. Horford is expected to be limited to 20 minutes per game this season and won't play in both games of back-to-back sets, so there will be some games where Post is a lot more involved.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong scoring off bench
Rotowire
Post contributed 16 points (5-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 118-111 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
Post came off the bench with Al Horford returning to the lineup but still logged meaningful minutes, finishing second only to Stephen Curry in scoring for the Warriors. The second-year big's strong preseason showing is encouraging as he looks to solidify his role following a promising rookie campaign, though Horford's arrival could limit his frontcourt opportunities alongside Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Team option exercised
Rotowire
The Warriors exercised their $1.96 million team option in Post's contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Post will return to Golden State for the 2025-26 campaign following a productive rookie season. The 25-year-old big man appeared in 42 regular-season outings (14 starts) last season, averaging 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.3 assists while shooting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc across 16.3 minutes per game.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Limited output off bench
Rotowire
Post provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr rolled with smaller lineups for the most part Wednesday, as Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney combined to play 13 minutes. Upgraded from a two-way contract back in February of 2025, Post emerged as a reliable rotation player down the stretch. He made 42 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers while hitting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc. It seems likely that the Warriors will pick up their team option for 2025-26.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Coming off bench in Game 3
Rotowire
Post is not in the Warriors' starting lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Post was inserted into the Warriors' starting lineup for Game 2, but he played just three minutes without posting any counting stats. He'll shift to the bench for Game 3 while Trayce Jackson-Davis moves into Golden State's starting five. Post has played six minutes or less in each of his last three games after averaging 19.3 minutes per game over the first six games of the postseason against the Rockets.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Hardly plays despite starting
Rotowire
Post closed Thursday's 117-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in three minutes.
With Stephen Curry (hamstring) out, it initially appeared as though Post would be a part of a much bigger lineup for Golden State. However, the rookie big man only logged three minutes of action, allowing for Trayce Jackson-Davis to play 19 minutes. Even with Curry set to miss a few more games, it's unlikely Post will be a significant factor in the Warriors' rotation.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Scores 13 off bench
Rotowire
Post recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Rockets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Post moved back to the second unit due to Jimmy Butler returning to action, but the former made the most of his minutes. Look for him to be the first big man off the bench moving forward, with coach Steve Kerr clearly putting a lot of trust in him.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Grabs 12 boards in Game 3
Rotowire
Post totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) sidelined and Moses Moody moving to the bench, Post and Jonathan Kuminga were inserted into Golden State's staring lineup for Game 3. Post didn't make much of an impact as a shooter, but he did manage to grab a game-high 12 boards (nine defensive). The rookie second-round pick could stay in the Warriors' starting five if Butler is unable to play in Game 4 on Monday.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Post (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The rookie big man was a late addition to the injury report and won't suit up due to an illness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against San Antonio. Kevon Looney will likely receive an uptick in playing time behind Draymond Green due to Post being sidelined.
