Santos had 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 108-83 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Golden State struggled to find production with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined, but Santos' performance was definitely encouraging. The Warriors need multiple players to step up as the team moves forward without Jimmy Butler (knee), and Santos could fill a big piece of the puzzle as the Warriors struggle to stay relevant.

Santos will start against the Timberwolves on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Warriors shorthanded on the second night of a back-to-back set, Santos will get the starting nod at power forward. As a starter this season (three games), the 23-year-old forward has averaged 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 20.3 minutes per contest.

Santos won't start against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Al Horford will step into the starting five in the front end of this back-to-back set, pushing Santos to the second unit. Over eight outings off the bench so far this month, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 3.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per contest.

Santos is starting Thursday's game against the Mavericks, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos didn't see much of a change in his playing time in the team's first game since the Jimmy Butler (knee) injury Tuesday against Toronto, but Santos will move into the first unit Thursday evening. He held his own in his last start Jan. 2 against the Thunder, ending with nine points, eight rebounds and one block in 26 minutes.

Santos (ankle) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two assists across 15 minutes in Tuesday's 145-127 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Santos was back in action following a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, but he didn't see any major boost in playing time even though the Warriors were without Jimmy Butler (knee), who will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Monday's win over the Heat. Instead, the biggest beneficiary of Butler's absence was Jonathan Kuminga (20 points, five rebounds in 21 minutes), who made his first appearance since the calendar flipped to 2026 after he sat out the last several games in coach's decisions.

Santos (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Santos has been cleared to return Tuesday from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He's averaging 11.3 minutes per game this season while operating in a reserve role, though he could see a slight bump in playing time moving forward after Jimmy Butler tore his ACL against the Heat on Monday.

Santos is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with a sprained ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Steve Kerr said Monday that he's hopeful Santos would be able to play Tuesday, which perhaps puts the forward on the right side of the questionable tag. If he suits up, Santos would have an opportunity to claim a more prominent role with Jimmy Butler (knee) out for the season.

Head coach Steve Kerr said Monday that he's hopeful Santos (ankle) will return against the Raptors on Tuesday, Joseph Dycus of The Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos sustained a left ankle sprain in Thursday's loss to the Knicks and missed Monday's win over Miami. However, he could return Tuesday and would be in line for increased playing time if Jimmy Butler (knee) is forced to miss time. Until the Warriors release their official injury report, Santos should be considered questionable to face Toronto.

Santos (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Santos will miss a second straight game after suffering a left ankle sprain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Tuesday against the Raptors.

Santos won't play in Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left ankle, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos suffered the injury during the first quarter of Thursday's 126-113 win over the Knicks, and he's likely to miss more than just one contest. The forward's absence opens up a few extra minutes for the likes of Moses Moody, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski to pick up Saturday.
