What happened
The Warriors listed Gui Santos as day-to-day with a rest issue on Wednesday's 11:03 a.m. ET injury report. He had not carried a previous status into the report. Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reported that Santos will not travel with the team for Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers. The injury report lists an expected return date of Oct. 10. Golden State labeled the absence rest rather than tying it to a specific injury.
What it means for the Warriors
Golden State visits the Trail Blazers on Wednesday at 10:00 PM ET on NBA TV, a preseason game, with Santos sidelined. Last season Santos averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.5 minutes across 68 games, production the Warriors lose for this matchup. Minutes at forward could shift to Jonathan Kuminga, who has logged 23.8 minutes and 12.1 points without Santos on the floor, and Draymond Green, who has logged 27.5 minutes and 8.4 points. The Warriors are 0-0, since the 2026-27 regular season has not started, so there is no record with or without Santos yet.
What to watch
The Warriors list an expected return date of Oct. 10 on the injury report. No further timeline beyond that date has been announced. The team will update his status on the next injury report ahead of its following preseason games. Santos' next chance to play depends on how he responds to the rest day and what the next report lists for his status.
