The Golden State Warriors recalled guard Will Richard from their G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, on Tuesday. This move follows his assignment to the G League earlier the same day, aimed at maximizing his practice repetitions. Richard has seen recent action with the NBA team, including starts and bench roles.
The Golden State Warriors made a quick roster adjustment by recalling Will Richard from the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League on Tuesday. According to reports, Richard was assigned to the G League earlier that day and then brought back to the NBA squad, a strategy designed to give him additional reps without disrupting the main team's rhythm.
Richard, a guard for the Warriors, has been shuttling between the NBA and G League recently. Just five days ago, he played 12 minutes in a game. Fourteen days prior, he logged 14 minutes during a Warriors win. About 15 days ago, he slid to a bench role for a Tuesday matchup. Earlier, 19 days ago, Richard scored 13 points while starting. Twenty-two days ago, he hit a trio of three-pointers in another starting appearance and was announced as a starter for that Tuesday game.
This recall highlights the Warriors' development approach for young players like Richard, balancing NBA exposure with G League development opportunities. No further details on his immediate role were provided.
