Richards agreed to a one-year deal with the Heat on Thursday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Miami fortifies its center depth with the move. Over 20 regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2025-26, Richards averaged 9.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 22.4 minutes per game while shooting 52.3 percent from the field following a trade from Phoenix. The big man is likely to settle for a lesser role in his new digs, but he has a chance to serve as the No. 2 center behind Bam Adebayo.
