Golden State Warriors second-year guard Will Richard has been sidelined after suffering a torn ligament in his left thumb, the team announced. The injury will keep Richard out of action for an unspecified period as he undergoes treatment and rehabilitation.
The 2023 draft pick appeared in 42 games during his rookie season, averaging 3.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game. Richard had been competing for a rotation spot during the preseason before the injury occurred.
Associated Press reporter Janie McCauley first reported the news on November 9, 2026. The Warriors have not yet provided a timeline for Richard's return to the court.
