  8H ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson didn't practice Thursday due to a heel injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Richardson's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks. However, the Heat are unlikely to drop an official injury report clarifying Richardson's status before Saturday at the earliest.

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson closed Sunday's 119-110 loss to Indiana with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes. Despite the absence of Jimmy Butler (ankle), Richardson hasn't been able to ramp up his fantasy production much. He's had a very slow start to the campaign by his standards, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 three-pointers on 31.3 percent shooting from the field through seven contests.

• Heat's Josh Richardson: Season-high performance in loss

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 21 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets. Richardson scored his first points of the season in his third appearance and set season-high marks in points, assists and steals during Friday's loss. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he's forced to miss time, Richardson would likely have increased responsibilities, though he may still be on a minutes restriction after missing the start of the season due to a shoulder injury.

• Heat's Josh Richardson: Makes season debut

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson played 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 118-98 win over the Wizards, finishing with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist. Richardson made his season debut Saturday after he missed the Heat's first three games with left heel inflammation before getting the green light to suit up in Monday's 106-98 win over the Pistons. He ultimately didn't play in that contest, then was ruled out for Wednesday's loss to the Knicks before he finally saw some action Saturday. Richardson ended up joining the Miami rotation as a replacement for Haywood Highsmith, who didn't check into the game until 2:11 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Heat held a 22-point lead.

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson (calf) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Wizards. Richardson was held out of Wednesday's game due to a calf strain, though he has yet to make his debut this season due to a plethora of injuries including left heel inflammation and recovery from right shoulder surgery. However, the 31-year-old will look to suit up Saturday while serving as a backup to Tyler Herro.
