The 21st pick in the 2025 NBA draft tallied 18 points in the fourth quarter alone to help the Go-Go improve to 4-2 in the regular season. He showed his aggression in the period, getting downhill and drawing contact, going 9-of-10 at the free-throw line.
Riley is averaging 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 42.6% shooting from the field in 29 games with the Wizards. He played sparingly to begin the season, but he had appeared in 16 straight games before the team assigned him to the Go-Go on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old logged his fourth appearance with the Go-Go, averaging 27.8 points, 4.3 assists and four rebounds while shooting 40.9% from 3-point range. He produced a G League-high 36 points on Nov. 30 in a loss to the Greensboro Swarm.
