Headed to bench Richard will return to the bench for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Richard was incredible in his first career start Wednesday night, dropping in a career-high 30 points, but it'll be tough for him to replicate that performance Friday with Jimmy Butler (back) active and starting. He's a risky target in the reserve role.

Drops 30 in first career start Richard generated 30 points (10-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes of Wednesday's 121-116 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Richard made his first career NBA start Wednesday night with the Warriors down three starters in Stephen Curry (illness), Jimmy Butler (back) and Draymond Green (ribs). He had a monster outing, catching fire from the field and drilling five three-pointers. Richard becomes the second rookie to score 30 points in a game this season, joining VJ Edgecombe in the prestigious group. Richard's workload will decrease once Golden State gets healthy, but the second-round pick has certainly played his way into a significant role.

Sees 14 minutes in win Richard supplied five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Lakers.

Impact A second-round pick from the 2025 NBA Draft, Richard already has some trust from coach Steve Kerr. He made the most of his limited minutes Tuesday, knocking down both of his shots from the field with some solid defense as well. Unless his minutes trend up, he's more of a watch-list candidate in very deep leagues.

Nets 13 points in starting role Richard tallied 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt), four rebounds and three steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 106-103 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Impact Richard was given several opportunities during the preseason, and the 2025 second-round pick appears to be on track to begin the season with the parent club. His production in the Summer League was a mixed bag, but his three-point shot and defensive skills were evident in Vegas and in the preseason. He'll begin the season low on the depth chart, but an injury or two within one of the league's oldest squads could change his fortunes.

Impact Coach Steve Kerr gave Richard the starting nod Tuesday with Jimmy Butler (ankle) out, wanting to see how the rookie would perform alongside and against regular rotation players. The Florida product responded well, knocking down three triples as part of a solid overall showing. He's appeared in all four preseason contests so far, working to build his case for a reserve guard role once the regular season tips off.
