Overview
- Santos signed a three-year, $15 million extension with a 2028-29 player option, the team announced Feb. 28 per reports on the terms.
- Over his past 12 games, he has averaged roughly 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists in about 29 minutes while shooting efficiently and starting most nights.
- The agreement removes Santos from this summer’s restricted free agency and keeps the 2022 No. 55 pick in Golden State through at least 2027-28.
- Analysts describe the ~$5 million annual salary as team-friendly that supports luxury-tax flexibility, with the Warriors now at nine players on standard contracts for next season.
- Coach Steve Kerr praised Santos’ on-ball growth and defensive versatility, and the Brazilian forward called the deal a reward for years of work from the G League to a key rotation role.
