Rookie Richard Shines in Warriors Debut

Rookie Will Richard exploded for 30 points in his first NBA start, lighting up the Kings despite the Warriors’ loss — shooting 10-for-15 with 5 threes, scoring 12 in the first quarter, and stepping up when Steph, Draymond, and Jimmy were sidelined. His performance marks the first time a Warriors second-round or later pick has scored over 20 in a debut start since Eric Paschall in 2019. After being benched just days prior, Richard’s grit and focus — “controlling what you can control” — turned heads and lifted spirits in a season that desperately needs bright spots.
