Golden State cleared Gui Santos on Saturday's injury report, ending a day-to-day stretch that began Oct. 7. He is available for the Warriors' game against the Kings Saturday night.
What happened
The Warriors cleared Gui Santos on the Saturday, Oct. 10 injury report at 7:17 p.m. ET, removing him from day-to-day status. He had carried that tag since Wednesday, Oct. 7, when Golden State listed him day-to-day under a rest/other designation. The report lists no specific injury detail for either entry, and no comment accompanied Saturday's clearance. Santos is now available for Golden State's game against the Kings on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
What it means for the Warriors
Santos is set for the Warriors' game against the Kings Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET, with Golden State at 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Last season he averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.5 minutes across 68 games. In games without him, Golden State's rotation minutes have gone to Jimmy Butler III (31.1 min, 20.0 pts), Stephen Curry (30.9 min, 26.6 pts), Brandin Podziemski (28.5 min, 13.8 pts), Draymond Green (27.5 min, 8.4 pts), Moses Moody (25.7 min, 12.1 pts), Jonathan Kuminga (23.8 min, 12.1 pts), Kristaps Porzingis (23.7 min, 16.1 pts) and De'Anthony Melton (23.0 min, 12.3 pts). There are no regular-season games yet to show a record with or without him.
What to watch
The Warriors have not announced an expected return timeline beyond Saturday's clearance, and the next injury report will show whether Santos stays off it. Golden State is already managing a thin roster: Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody are both out with knee issues, while De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II and Georges Niang are day-to-day with rest/other designations. The Kings game opens the 2026-27 season.
