Paces Richmond scoring Golden (finger) had 19 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and five rebounds across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 70-60 victory over North Carolina Central.

Impact A finger injury cut short Golden's 2020-21 season by a couple games, but it definitely doesn't appear to be limiting him heading into his sixth season of collegiate play, all with Richmond. The 6-10 center appears to be headed for his fifth consecutive season of double-digit scoring while again serving as the man in the middle for the tournament-hopeful Spiders.

Weathers lifts Duquesne past Richmond 67-62 in A-10 tourney

Marcus Weathers recorded 12 points and 10 rebounds as Duquesne edged past Richmond 67-62 in the second round of the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament

MARCH 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleared for A-10 tournament Golden (finger) will start Thursday in Richmond's Atlantic 10 Conference tournament second-round matchup with Duquesne.

Impact Golden has been playing through a fractured finger in recent games, and despite a rough showing in Monday's regular-season finale versus Saint Joseph's, he'll continue to tough it out as Richmond opens its A-10 tournament schedule. The Spiders could be forced to rely more on the center offensively, as Richmond will be without top scorer Blake Francis (hip) on Thursday.

Laboring through finger injury Golden had six points (3-7 FG) and four rebounds in 22 minutes Monday against St. Joseph's.

Impact Golden is trying to play through a fractured finger that has essentially rendered one hand useless. This outing snapped a three-game stretch where Golden had reached double-digit points. The Spiders will face Duquesne in the A-10 Tournament on Thursday, an opponent a healthy Golden put up 10 points, eight boards and eight assists against just two weeks ago.

Will play Friday Richmond coach Chris Mooney indicated Thursday that Golden (hand) will take the floor Friday against Saint Louis, John O'Connor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Golden played the second half of Tuesday's game with his finger taped but appears to have suffered no major damage with it. He should resume his usual role as the team's starting center and will look to build off of his 16-point effort against UMass.

Potential hand injury Golden suffered a left hand injury late in the first half of Tuesday's 79-65 victory over Massachusetts, Alexa Welch of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Golden appeared to jam the hand on the rim during a dunk attempt, and while he came back in the second half with his hand taped, the senior center was the subject of regular attention from the team's medical staff. He ultimately finished with 16 points, five rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes in the contest, but his status will be worth monitoring heading into Friday's matchup at Saint Louis. Golden's health will be key for a Richmond team that is squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble, as he's second on the team in both scoring (13.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.4 apg).
