The Golden State Warriors and forward Gui Santos have agreed to a three-year, $15 million contract extension to remain with the franchise, according to sources via ESPN. The deal ensures the young forward remains a part of the team's rotation through the late 2020s.
According to the report, the contract extension includes a player option for the 2028-29 season. Santos, who was originally selected by the Warriors with the 55th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, has earned a more permanent role within the organization after showing significant development since his arrival from Brazil.
The $15 million deal provides the Warriors with a cost-controlled asset as they continue to manage their luxury tax situation while surrounding their veteran core with versatile wing depth. Santos has appeared in various roles for head coach Steve Kerr, providing energy and size on the perimeter.
