Richard’s status comes after Golden State’s 131-126 home win over the Washington Wizards, a contest in which he logged eight points, two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes on the floor.
Seth Curry and Quinten Post have been upgraded to questionable for the Denver matchup, according to reports, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the Warriors’ rotation for the contest.
Richard, the 56th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft out of Florida, has been a contributing guard for Golden State this season, including his role in the team’s championship run and his early-season development with the Gators’ 2025 NCAA title pedigree noted in previews of his career.
If Richard is sidelined, the Warriors may lean on a deeper backcourt rotation and increased minutes for other wings and guards to combat the Nuggets’ pace and scoring threat in Denver.
The team will provide further injury updates as Sunday’s game approaches, with coaches expected to adjust lineup plans if Richard remains unavailable.
