Golden State Warriors second-year guard Will Richard will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. The team ruled Richard out for Monday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans at Chase Center. Golden State held no practice or media availability on Sunday, leaving his recovery timetable and treatment plan undetermined.
Richard has contributed as a starter and reserve during Golden State's current seven-game winning streak. Stephen Curry recently praised the 23-year-old guard for his defensive energy during wins over Phoenix and Miami. Richard is averaging 5.1 points and shooting 42.9% from 3-point range this season.
