Not starting Saturday Leons is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Kings.

Impact The Warriors are starting a lineup that should be close to their first unit on Opening Night, so Leons is heading back to the bench. Leons, who averaged 3.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game across 25 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, is competing for a rotation role ahead of the new campaign.

Starting vs. Portland Leons will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Warriors will be shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Leons to step into the first unit. He supplied five points, one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes during Tuesday's preseason-opening win over the Lakers.

Sees increased run in 2025-26 Leons averaged 3.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game across 25 regular-season appearances (two starts) in the 2025-26 campaign.

Impact After averaging just 3.5 minutes per game over six regular-season appearances with the Thunder in 2024-25, Leons saw an increased role for the injury-plagued Warriors this season. The two-way player signed with Golden State in early December on a two-way pact and logged the majority of his action in the second half of the season. The 26-year-old forward also appeared in 33 G League outings between the Santa Cruz Warriors and Oklahoma City Blue, during which he averaged 14.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.1 minutes per tilt.

Shifting to bench Leons will come off the bench Thursday against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Leons drew a spot start Tuesday against the Kings, and while Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Gui Santos (pelvis) are out again Thursday, it'll be Nate Williams who gets a chance with the first unit. Leons figures to remain involved in the rotation with Golden State operating shorthanded in the frontcourt.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Leons will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Gui Santos (pelvis) unavailable, Leons will start against Sacramento. During his lone start in a loss to New York on March 15, the two-way player chipped in two points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes.

APRIL 2 • SI.COM

Not listed on injury report Leons (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's meeting with the Wizards.

Impact Leons is set to return following a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he'll help fill minutes at the forward spots behind Gui Santos and Draymond Green. Leons is averaging 2.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per game this season.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Now out Leons (illness) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Leons was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday evening, and the two-way forward has officially been ruled out. While he's not a major part of Golden State's rotation, Leons' absence could shake loose some extra minutes for Nate Williams, Gary Payton or Omer Yurtseven. Leons' next chance to play will come Friday against Washington.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Leons is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Nets due to an illness.

Impact Leons is a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, which usually isn't a good sign. However, Leons was out of the rotation during Monday's loss to the Mavericks, so his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of rotation Leons (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Impact Golden State was down five players due to injury Tuesday, but the returns of Kristaps Porzingis (back), Gary Payton (knee) and Moses Moody (wrist) were enough to bump Leons out of the rotation. The two-way player had previously appeared in 13 straight contests for the banged-up Warriors, averaging 3.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 11.2 minutes per game during that stretch. Moody ended up exiting in the overtime period with what appeared to be a serious-looking knee injury, so if he ends up missing time, Leons could be a candidate to move back into the rotation for the Warriors' next game Wednesday versus the Nets.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Leons (wrist) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Leons will shake off his questionable tag for this contest. Look for him to be an emergency depth option once again.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Saturday Leons (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.

Impact Leons had five points, one board and one assist in 11 minutes of work in Friday's 115-101 loss to Detroit. He suffered a sprained wrist in that contest, so he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game against Atlanta. The 26-year-old has averaged only 2.4 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.3 steals in March, meaning his absence won't leave the Warriors with a massive void to fill, even with the club featuring a loaded injury report.

Dealing with wrist issue Leons hurt his wrist toward the end of Friday's 115-101 loss to the Pistons, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports. He finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and...

Impact Leons will see how his wrist feels in the morning, though it wouldn't be shocking to see him included on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Hawks. If the 26-year-old forward is forced to miss time, Gui Santos and Gary Payton would likely see a slight bump in playing time.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Leons is coming off the bench Monday against the Wizards, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The Warriors are healthier Monday, pushing Leons to the bench. Leons has averaged 2.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 7.8 minutes per tilt over 13 games off the bench this season.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Leons will start Sunday versus the Knicks.

Impact This will be Leons first start of the season, and it'll be Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, Gui Santos and Quinten Post joining him in the first unit for Sunday's game. Per 36 minutes this season, Leons owns averages of 10.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Anthony Edwards' 42 points lead Timberwolves to 127-117 win against undermanned Warriors

Sticks in rotation Leons supplied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in six minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Leons remained in the rotation, suiting up for the fifth straight game. Multiple injuries to key personnel have forced Golden State to go deep into its rotation, with Leons one of the main beneficiaries. Although he has been active, Leons has averaged just 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game during his recent five-game stretch.
