Rotowire
Leons averaged 3.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game across 25 regular-season appearances (two starts) in the 2025-26 campaign.
After averaging just 3.5 minutes per game over six regular-season appearances with the Thunder in 2024-25, Leons saw an increased role for the injury-plagued Warriors this season. The two-way player signed with Golden State in early December on a two-way pact and logged the majority of his action in the second half of the season. The 26-year-old forward also appeared in 33 G League outings between the Santa Cruz Warriors and Oklahoma City Blue, during which he averaged 14.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.1 minutes per tilt.

Warriors' Malevy Leons: Left out of rotation
Rotowire
Leons (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Golden State was down five players due to injury Tuesday, but the returns of Kristaps Porzingis (back), Gary Payton (knee) and Moses Moody (wrist) were enough to bump Leons out of the rotation. The two-way player had previously appeared in 13 straight contests for the banged-up Warriors, averaging 3.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 11.2 minutes per game during that stretch. Moody ended up exiting in the overtime period with what appeared to be a serious-looking knee injury, so if he ends up missing time, Leons could be a candidate to move back into the rotation for the Warriors' next game Wednesday versus the Nets.
