Will Richard Out of Warriors Rotation, Kerr Cites Rookie Status

Golden State Warriors rookie Will Richard is currently out of the team's rotation, a decision coach Steve Kerr attributed to Richard's rookie status and a desire to honor veteran players. Despite this, Kerr expressed being a "huge fan and believer" in Richard, who has averaged 8.0 points in 23 of 27 games this season. Richard previously started four games in Stephen Curry's absence, averaging 5.2 points in 22.0 minutes, and Kerr believes he could earn a starting role later in the season.
