Santos tallied eight points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 86-73 loss to Germany in the Paris Olympics.
Santos has had a poor start to the Olympics despite being the only current NBA player on Brazil's roster. He was still able to lead the team in minutes played despite fouling out. Santos will need to bounce back against Japan if Brazil has any chance of avoiding three straight losses in the group phase.

Rotowire
Santos tallied nine points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, three steals and two rebounds across 24 minutes in Brazil's 78-66 loss to France in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Santos is the only current NBA player on Brazil's Olympic roster, and he struggled in his Olympic debut against France on Saturday. The 22-year-old is coming off his rookie season with the Warriors, during which he averaged 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds across 8.3 minutes in 23 regular-season games. Brazil is going to have an uphill battle in the group phase, and they will need guys to step up as the squad has yet to play both Japan and Germany.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Playing for Brazil
Rotowire
Santos is on the Brazilian national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Santos made 23 appearances for the Warriors in 2023-24, averaging 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes and will now shift his offseason focus to the Olympics. With Santos being the only player for Brazil currently on an NBA roster, he will likely be one of the team's focal points in Paris.
Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday.
Santos struggled with his shot during Santa Cruz's loss to the Stockton Kings in the G League playoffs on Thursday, scoring only 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting, including 1-for-6 from deep. However, he made an impact defensively, grabbing nine boards and blocking three shots. With Santa Cruz's season over, Santos figures to provide depth for Golden State over the final week of the regular season.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Elevated Monday
Rotowire
Golden State recalled Santos from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.
Santos will be available for Monday's game against the Knicks, but it's unclear if he'll see any playing time. With injuries and suspensions depleting Golden State's roster, Santos carved out a role in early February, but since then, he's appeared in just six of the last 17 games, playing double-digit minutes only once during that stretch.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Gets 19 minutes in return
Rotowire
Santos (knee) totaled five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes in Sunday's 140-88 loss to the Celtics.
Santos turned in one of the better fantasy lines among all Warriors players Sunday, but there's little to take away from the performance on a day in which Golden State was throttled from the opening tip and faced a 44-point deficit at halftime. The rookie forward out of Brazil didn't check into the game until 7:16 remained in the third quarter, when the Warriors were trailing by 51 and head coach Steve Kerr had essentially conceded defeat. Santos will likely be outside of Kerr's rotation in competitive contests, but the 21-year-old at least showed during his garbage-time minutes that he's healthy again after missing about a week of action with a right knee injury.

Rotowire
Santos (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
As expected, Santos has been upgraded from probable to available. He missed the past week with knee soreness and was an inconsistent part of the rotation before then, but there are minutes available Sunday, as Brandin Podziemski (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (personal) are unavailable.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Out at least one week
Rotowire
Santos (knee), who will miss a second straight game Tuesday against the Wizards, said he believes he'll be ready to play by next week, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Santos injured his right knee during his appearance for the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday, but he doesn't believe he's dealing with a long-term injury after a recent MRI revealed nothing more than inflammation. Before hurting his knee, Santos had appeared in just three of his previous six outings with Golden State, playing no more than five minutes on any occasion.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire

Santos will miss his second straight game due to right knee soreness. The rookie forward hasn't been a part of the Warriors' rotation of late, so his absence won't affect how head coach Steve Kerr distributes minutes.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Out Sunday with sore knee
Rotowire
Santos won't be available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right knee soreness.
The sore knee likely explains why Santos was limited to playing just 12 minutes for the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors in a 118-112 loss to Raptors 905 on Saturday before Golden State recalled him Sunday. Santos' absence against the Nuggets hurts the Warriors' frontcourt depth, though the rookie hadn't been a fixture in head coach Steve Kerr's rotation of late anyway.
