Warriors guard Will Richard to miss time with torn ligament in left thumb
Guard Will Richard has suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb, according to the Warriors' injury report that listed him as out for Monday's game against New Orleans.
Golden State Warriors guard Will Richard will miss playing time due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his left thumb, according to the team's injury report. The extent of the injury remains unknown. Richard, who began the season on the periphery of head coach Steve Kerr's rotation, has since emerged as a starting player for the team.
He filled in for Gui Santos, who was sidelined with knee tendinitis, and despite scoring just four points in 12 minutes against Orlando, his spot-stints showcased his defensive aggression and three-point shooting ability. Kerr praised Richard's game, noting his intelligence and ability to guard multiple positions without making many mistakes.
After spending time at Florida, Richard was selected by the Warriors in the 2025 draft. In his rookie season, he recorded averages of 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists over 17.2 minutes played.
