Coming off a strong rookie season, Warriors big man Quinten Post figured to be the perfect candidate to utilize the NBA Summer League as a means of improving his game entering Year 2.
However, the 25-year-old big man was left off Golden State’s roster, not making any appearances one year after making his first NBA impressions in last season’s summer league.
Quinten Post is not on the Warriors’ summer league roster. He will not be playing summer league for the Warriors anymore I’m told, but likely will be around the team working out @NBCSWarriors

An ankle injury flaring up before the California Classic is the culprit behind Post’s summer league absence, the SF Standard’s Danny Emmerman reported Tuesday. It was an inujury that Post dealt with throughout the second half of the 2024-25 NBA season, and it appears Golden State wasn’t keen on taking any risks with the sharpshooting big man.
Emmerman’s report also notes that Post spent time working out in Golden State’s facility while taking in the games themselves from a courtside seat in Las Vegas.
Post averaged 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 42 appearances during his rookie season, becoming a key cog in the Warriors’ rotation down the stretch of Golden State’s playoff run.
Renown for his shooting ability, Post was able to provide the Warriors with invaluable floor spacing, knocking down 40.8 percent of his 3-point attempts, offering instant impact despite working through the growing pains that NBA rookies typically face.
Golden State appears to have struck gold after selecting Post with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, with the Warriors hoping their luck of second-round hits continues this season after taking Alex Toohey and Will Richard last month.
