The Golden State Warriors announced a major update prior to Wednesday's 104-100 loss against the Houston Rockets, with Jonathan Kuminga and De'Anthony Melton scrimmaging with Santa Cruz as they enter the final stages of their return from injury.
However, they weren't the only Golden State players to be assigned to Santa Cruz. Third-year forward Gui Santos was also part of the scrimmage, further proving that the Brazilian is well outside Golden State's rotation plans even as they battle growing injury concerns.
Gui Santos has failed to crack the rotation consistently this season
Even with Kuminga sidelined for a seventh-straight game against the Rockets on Wednesday night, Santos has been unable to earn consistent minutes as a like-type replacement in terms of size and position in the rotation.
