Sources: Warriors, Gui Santos agree to 3-year, $15M deal

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors signed beginning ahead Gui Santos to a three-year, $15 million contract extension on Saturday morning, sources informed ESPN.

The new deal features a participant choice for the 2028-29 season.

Santos is a developmental success story for the Warriors. They chosen him fifty fifth general out of Brazil within the 2022 NBA Draft and introduced him up by their system. He began his profession on the Santa Cruz Warriors and has spent the final three seasons on a minimal deal on the primary roster.

Santos has emerged as a significant rotation piece on the wing the final two months, stepping right into a beginning spot after Jimmy Butler tore his ACL. Santos has scored in double figures 11 of the previous 12 video games and is averaging 31 minutes per recreation this month.

Santos will flip 24 in June. He was set to hit restricted free company in July, however the Warriors preemptively acted, maintaining him contractually tied to the franchise for not less than two extra seasons.
