Overview
- Santos exited in the first half against New York after a collision with Josh Hart and needed help to reach the locker room.
- The Warriors confirmed a left-ankle sprain and ruled him out for the remainder of the Knicks game, with his broader return timeline still to be determined.
- Kerr said the sprain is not considered bad and confirmed Santos will miss Saturday's home game against the Hornets.
- The coach indicated Santos will miss at least one game and likely more as the team reassesses his status soon.
- His absence thins Golden State’s wing and frontcourt depth, with potential shifts to heavier minutes for Draymond Green and Al Horford and options ranging from two-big looks with Quinten Post to smaller lineups using Moses Moody at the four.
