Santos finished Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns with nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes.
Santos dropped 20 points in Wednesday's win over the Clippers, though he was unable to carry that momentum into Friday's elimination game. The 2022 second-rounder operated in a limited role off the bench for the first half of the season, but he started 28 of his final 31 games of the 2025-26 campaign (including the Warriors' two Play-In Tournament games). Over that 31-game span, Santos averaged 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 threes in 31.0 minutes per contest while connecting on 50.7 percent of his field-goal attempts. His strong play earned him a three-year, $15 million contract extension from the Warriors in February, which could be a bargain if he continues to develop in Golden State's system.

Warriors' Al Horford: Minimal output Friday
Rotowire
Horford finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to Phoenix.
Horford played a key role in the Warriors' comeback victory against the Clippers on Wednesday, but the veteran big man was unable to replicate that success in Friday's elimination game. He was limited to just 45 regular-season games (13 starts) due to various injuries, including a right calf strain that cost him 14 consecutive games from March 15 to April 9. Horford will end his first regular season in Golden State averaging 8.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 threes over 21.5 minutes per game. He holds a $5.97 million player option for the 2026-27 season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Can't play hero again
Rotowire
Curry tallied 17 points (4-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during the Warriors' 111-96 loss to the Suns in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
Curry was the hero of the Warriors' comeback victory against the Clippers on Wednesday, but the two-time MVP couldn't replicate that success Friday, finishing with a minus-13 point differential while connecting on just 25.0 percent of his field-goal attempts. It was a disappointing 2025-26 campaign for Curry, who was limited to just 43 regular-season games due to various injuries, including a knee injury that cost him 27 straight games from early February to early April. He ended the regular season averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists (a career low), 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 4.4 threes over 30.9 minutes per game. Curry is set to make $62.6 million in 2026-27 in what is currently his final season under contract with Golden State, though it's hard to imagine the two sides not coming to an agreement on an extension during the offseason.
Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Scores 23 points off bench
Rotowire
Mathurin ended with 23 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors.
Following his trade from the Pacers, Mathurin found some success in a bench role with the Clippers. He made 26 appearances (one start) and posted averages of 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes per contest. However, he struggled from the perimeter, hitting 20.7 percent from three-point range.

Clippers' Kobe Sanders: Sees 11 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Sanders ended Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to Golden State with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three assists across 11 minutes.
Sanders was the ninth rotation player for the Clippers as their season came to an end. He made a total of 68 regular-season appearances and was never close to standard-league fantasy appeal with averages of 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Logs 15 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Miller logged five points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to Golden State.
Miller was used sparingly in the final game of the season for Los Angeles. The Clippers signed him to a one-year deal back in February after her impressed on a two-way contract, and it includes a player option worth $2.5 million in 2026-27. Across 60 regular-season appearances, he averaged 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Fares well in loss
Rotowire
Dunn contributed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors.
With Los Angeles' season coming to an end, Dunn will be able to hold his head high. He appeared in all 82 regular-season games with 68 starts, posting averages of 7.3 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest.
Lopez ended Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to Golden State with 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.
Lopez ended his season with another serviceable performance, finishing what was a roller coaster campaign. Following the trade of Ivica Zubac, Lopez was thrust into a starting role, something that he was almost certainly not expecting coming into the season. While he was able to fill the role admirably, it is unlikely that the Clippers view him as a long-term solution. In 29 appearances over the final two months, Lopez averaged 11.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game.
