Post provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr rolled with smaller lineups for the most part Wednesday, as Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney combined to play 13 minutes. Upgraded from a two-way contract back in February of 2025, Post emerged as a reliable rotation player down the stretch. He made 42 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers while hitting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc. It seems likely that the Warriors will pick up their team option for 2025-26.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Coming off bench in Game 3
Rotowire
Post is not in the Warriors' starting lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Post was inserted into the Warriors' starting lineup for Game 2, but he played just three minutes without posting any counting stats. He'll shift to the bench for Game 3 while Trayce Jackson-Davis moves into Golden State's starting five. Post has played six minutes or less in each of his last three games after averaging 19.3 minutes per game over the first six games of the postseason against the Rockets.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Hardly plays despite starting
Rotowire
Post closed Thursday's 117-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in three minutes.
With Stephen Curry (hamstring) out, it initially appeared as though Post would be a part of a much bigger lineup for Golden State. However, the rookie big man only logged three minutes of action, allowing for Trayce Jackson-Davis to play 19 minutes. Even with Curry set to miss a few more games, it's unlikely Post will be a significant factor in the Warriors' rotation.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starting in Game 2
Rotowire
Post is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
The Warriors will elect to roll with a larger starting five in the absence of Stephen Curry (hamstring), moving Draymond Green to power forward and Jimmy Butler to small forward. Post will presumably be much more involved Thursday after a quiet performance in Game 1, when he logged one rebound in six minutes of action.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Scores 13 off bench
Rotowire
Post recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Rockets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Post moved back to the second unit due to Jimmy Butler returning to action, but the former made the most of his minutes. Look for him to be the first big man off the bench moving forward, with coach Steve Kerr clearly putting a lot of trust in him.
Post will come off the bench for Monday's Game 4 against the Rockets, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Post didn't provide much offensively in an opportunity to start during Saturday's Game 3, finishing with two points on 1-for-7 from the field in 27 minutes. Jimmy Butler will return to the starting lineup after missing time with a pelvic contusion, nudging Post back to a bench role.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starting in Game 3
Rotowire
Post is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Post played a bigger role for the Warriors in Game 2 on Wednesday compared to Game 1, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes. The rookie second-rounder will start in the frontcourt alongside Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga.Post should give the Warriors more interior presence on the glass against Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Grabs 12 boards in Game 3
Rotowire
Post totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) sidelined and Moses Moody moving to the bench, Post and Jonathan Kuminga were inserted into Golden State's staring lineup for Game 3. Post didn't make much of an impact as a shooter, but he did manage to grab a game-high 12 boards (nine defensive). The rookie second-round pick could stay in the Warriors' starting five if Butler is unable to play in Game 4 on Monday.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Drains four threes in Game 2
Rotowire
Post totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After failing to score a point in 12 minutes during a Game 1 win for the Warriors, Post was a lot more involved in the offense Wednesday. His increased usage was likely the result of Jimmy Butler (pelvis) being unable to finish the game, and if Butler isn't fully fit for Game 3 on Saturday, Post could have some DFS appeal as a bargain option.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong line in 22 minutes
Rotowire
Post amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis.
This was Post's largest workload since March 22, but, notably, coach Steve Kerr trusted him in his first taste of the playoffs. Post is the preferred backup big these days, and Jonathan Kuminga has been buried on the depth chart as a result.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Post (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
The Warriors will be close to full strength Friday with Post available, and the rookie should see decent minutes even if he comes off the bench. The former Boston College standout has averaged 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in 23 contests since the All-Star break.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Post (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Post is in danger of missing his third straight matchup while dealing with an illness. The team will presumably monitor the big man closely during shootaround and pre-game warmups to see if he feels healthy enough to give it a go Friday evening.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Won't suit up Tuesday
Rotowire
Post (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The rookie big man was a late addition to the injury report and won't suit up due to an illness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against San Antonio. Kevon Looney will likely receive an uptick in playing time behind Draymond Green due to Post being sidelined.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Late addition to report Tuesday
Rotowire
Post (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Post was a very late addition to the injury report, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Tuesday's tipoff at 10:00 p.m. ET. If the rookie big man is ruled out against Phoenix, Kevon Looney will likely receive a bump in minutes behind Draymond Green.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starting vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Post is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
The Warriors are tweaking their lineup due to the absence of Stephen Curry (pelvis), and this means Post will start at center, with Draymond Green slotting at power forward while Brandin Podziemski will operate as the de-facto point guard. Post is averaging 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 11 contests in March (six starts).

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong showing off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Post ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-114 win over the Raptors.
The rookie center delivered his best scoring effort in March as he shifted back to the second unit once again. Post has been dealing with an ankle issue that limited him to eight minutes against the Nuggets on Monday, but he looked fully healthy Thursday as he set a new career high in made three-pointers. Stephen Curry (pelvis) left the win over Toronto early, and if misses additional time, Post could be the player who shifts back into the starting five.

Warriors' Quinten Post: To be deployed off bench
Rotowire
Post isn't starting Thursday's game against the Raptors, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Post will return to a bench role after starting Golden State's last two matchups. He should still log around 20 minutes but hasn't been overly effective as a reserve, as he's been held to single figures in the scoring column in three of his last four bench showings.
