Warriors Retain Post, Santos for 2025-26 Season

The Golden State Warriors have exercised their team options on center Quinten Post and forward Gui Santos, securing both players through the 2025-26 NBA season. Post, who averaged 8.1 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 40.8% from three as a rookie, will not participate in the NBA Summer League, as the team prefers he focus on strength and skill development. Santos, who contributed energy and hustle in 56 games last season, had his $2.2 million option picked up after showing promise off the bench. These moves provide the Warriors with additional depth and cost-effective talent as they navigate a tight salary cap and luxury tax challenges. The team's next major roster priority is resolving the restricted free agency of Jonathan Kuminga. These decisions underscore Golden State's strategy to develop its young core while managing the veteran-led roster.
