Richard got hurt on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the situation became clearer after he was seen with the protective boot as he works his way back.
Danny Emerman of The San Francisco Standard reported that Richard sprained his right ankle on that play Saturday. He is currently in a walking boot, but he has said that he is feeling better. He is considered day to day, and the injury is not viewed as a long-term concern.

Even though the image of a walking boot can raise concern, the early signs are positive for Golden State. Richard is feeling better and is considered day-to-day, and the injury is not viewed as something that will keep him out long-term.
Richard has been an important piece in the Warriors' rotation during his rookie season. The 56th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft out of Florida and Belmont has given the team steady minutes off the bench.
Through 54 games, Richard is averaging 7.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from three-point range.
On Monday night, Golden State fell at home to the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 114-101, dropping to 31-30 in 61 games and sitting eighth in the Western Conference standings.
