Post will come off the bench against the Pacers on Saturday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Brandin Podziemski will enter the starting lineup as the Warriors continue to tweak their lineups depending on matchups. Post is hard to rely on in fantasy, especially when Al Horford is active.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Sniffs double-double in victory
Rotowire
Post chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, one steal and one block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 98-79 win over the Clippers.
The big man got the starting nod in place of Brandin Podziemski for the second time this season and made the most of the opportunity. Post led the Warriors in rebounds and three-pointers while logging more than 20 minutes for the first time through five regular-season games. He also delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling just seven points in the team's first four outings, during which he reached double-digit minutes twice and shot just 37.5 percent from the field.

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: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Post will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Al Horford (rest) is getting a maintenance day, and those are likely to be pretty standard this season. Post has fared well in the preseason and appears to have the edge over Trayce Jackson-Davis for the backup center minutes.

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.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Post (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
The Warriors will be close to full strength Friday with Post available, and the rookie should see decent minutes even if he comes off the bench. The former Boston College standout has averaged 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in 23 contests since the All-Star break.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Won't suit up Tuesday
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.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Late addition to report Tuesday
Rotowire
Post (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Post was a very late addition to the injury report, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Tuesday's tipoff at 10:00 p.m. ET. If the rookie big man is ruled out against Phoenix, Kevon Looney will likely receive a bump in minutes behind Draymond Green.

Rotowire
Post is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
The Warriors are tweaking their lineup due to the absence of Stephen Curry (pelvis), and this means Post will start at center, with Draymond Green slotting at power forward while Brandin Podziemski will operate as the de-facto point guard. Post is averaging 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 11 contests in March (six starts).

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong showing off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Post ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-114 win over the Raptors.
The rookie center delivered his best scoring effort in March as he shifted back to the second unit once again. Post has been dealing with an ankle issue that limited him to eight minutes against the Nuggets on Monday, but he looked fully healthy Thursday as he set a new career high in made three-pointers. Stephen Curry (pelvis) left the win over Toronto early, and if misses additional time, Post could be the player who shifts back into the starting five.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Available and starting

Post (ankle) has been cleared to play and is starting Monday's game against the Nuggets, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Post was considered questionable for Monday's clash due to a right ankle issue, but he's been given the green light and will return to the starting lineup after being deployed off the bench Saturday against the Knicks. He's averaging 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks in his last three games as a starter.
