Warriors' Will Richard: Draws questionable tag for Sunday
Rotowire
The Warriors list Richard (back) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
After missing the Warriors' previous two games due to a bilateral low back strain, Richard took back a spot in the rotation in Friday's 124-118 loss to the Kings, but he saw the least amount of playing time of any of the 12 Golden State players who received minutes. He played just one brief shift at the end of the second quarter, then went unused for the entire second half. If he's cleared to play Sunday, Richard could see his minutes rise since the Warriors are locked into the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference and aren't likely to overextend most of their key contributors, but the rookie second-round pick looks as though he could be squeezed out of the rotation once the playoffs get underway.

Rotowire
Richard racked up 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Celtics.
Richard missed the final game before the All-Star break with a knee issue, but he responded with one of his best performances of the season Thursday. With Stephen Curry hobbled by a knee issue, there are more minutes up for grabs in the backcourt, and Richard made a strong case to absorb some of them Thursday.
