Rotowire
Post racked up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over the Nets.
Post delivered a productive performance in his third consecutive contest coming off the bench, scoring in double digits for the ninth time across 25 regular-season appearances.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Likely to play through ankle sprain
Rotowire
Post is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain.
Post was one rebound shy from registering the first double-double of his NBA career during Saturday's loss to the 76ers. He appears to have tweaked his right ankle during that game, but it doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to be in any real jeopardy of missing Monday's game.

Rotowire
Post (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets and will come off the bench, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Post tweaked his right ankle during the Warriors' 126-119 loss to the 76ers on Saturday, but the injury isn't severe enough to prevent him from suiting up Monday. Post has averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals over 19.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Just misses double-double in start
Rotowire
Post totaled 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the 76ers.
Making his first start since Feb. 12, Post nearly produced his first career double-double. The rookie center has also recorded at least one steal in five straight contests as he continues to carve out a regular role in the Golden State frontcourt -- Jimmy Butler (back) was sidelined for this contest. The return of Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) could impact Post's usage and minutes, but his ability to contribute at both ends of the court should keep him in the rotation.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starts in second half Thursday
Rotowire
Post registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 win over the Magic.
Stephen Curry's 56-point outburst will get most of the attention from Thursday's game, but Post played a large part in the Warriors' 17-point comeback. Post entered the starting lineup for the second half and finished as the Warriors' second-leading scorer while registering a game-high plus-22 point differential. The rookie second-round pick has established a consistent role for himself in the Warriors' rotation, and he could carve himself out an even bigger role over the final weeks of the regular season.

Post should compete with Kevon Looney for playing time behind Draymond Green at center Thursday.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Efficient from second unit
Rotowire
Post closed Monday's 125-111 victory over the Bucks with 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes off the bench.
After getting the start Saturday in Jimmy Butler's debut for the Warriors, Post shifted to the second unit Monday while Moses Moody got a look in the starting five. The rookie center delivered an incredibly efficient scoring performance off the bench, and he's pushed his way into Golden State's frontcourt rotation by scoring in double digits in five of the last 10 games (six starts), averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 boards, 2.1 assists and 2.1 threes in 17.7 minutes a contest over that stretch. Coach Steve Kerr will likely continue to shuffle his lineup in the short term to find the best fit around Butler, but Post seems to have secured a consistent workload regardless.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Retreating to bench Monday
Rotowire
Post is not in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Bucks on Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Post has started in the Warriors' last six games and has averaged 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 17.2 minutes per game over that span. However, the Warriors are going with a small-ball lineup with Moses Moody entering the starting five next to Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, which means Post will come off the bench Monday.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong outing in win
Rotowire
Post closed Saturday's 132-111 victory over Chicago with 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes.
After agreeing to a standard contract Friday, Post delivered his highest-scoring outing since dropping a career-high 20 against Chicago on Jan. 23. Over his last five games, the rookie second-round pick has averaged 10.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19.0 minutes per game.
The Warriors converted Post's two-way contract to a two-year standard NBA deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Post has started in Golden State's last five outings, averaging 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 16.6 minutes over that span. While the rookie big man will likely continue to battle for playing time with Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney, he is set to remain with Golden State through at least the 2025-26 season.
Warriors' Quinten Post: Grabs seven rebounds in start
Rotowire
Post closed with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 104-99 win over the Magic.
The Warriors gave the rookie another start Monday night, but ceded a lot of the interior work to Kevon Looney down the stretch. The Boston College product has the skill set to make it at the next level, but he's logged 20-plus minutes only three times this season and will need further development to achieve any fantasy notoriety.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Fails to make an impact in win
Rotowire
Post finished Wednesday's 116-109 win over the Thunder with no counting statistics across eight minutes.
Post had been a feel-good story for the Warriors lately, with the rookie second-round pick having averaged 10.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 17.6 minutes over Golden State's last five contests to cement his spot in the rotation. He was elevated to the starting five in place of the struggling Trayce Jackson-Davis on Wednesday, but he struggled to make any sort of positive impact, finishing with two turnovers and three fouls. Head coach Steve Kerr went with Kevon Looney at center to open the second half, and Looney could move into the starting five in the Warriors' next game Friday versus the Suns.
