Malachi Richardson: Signs overseas
Richardson agreed to a contract Saturday with Israeli club Hapoel Holon, Lior Hai of Eurobasket.com reports.

A first-round selection out of Syracuse in 2016, Richardson logged 70 regular-season appearances between the Kings and Raptors across three years in the NBA, averaging 2.8 points in 8.9 minutes on 35.8 percent shooting from the field and 30.1 percent shooting from three-point range.

Raptors' Malachi Richardson: Not playing Tuesday
Richardson (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Richardson has made three total appearances for the Raptors since the calendar flipped to 2019. The sore right knee has prevented Richardson from dressing in a few of those contests, but his status as a non-rotation player has also been at the root of a good chunk of those absences. He'll likely be destined for the G League's Raptors 905 once cleared to play again.

Raptors' Malachi Richardson: Back with Raptors 905
Richardson was assigned to the Raptors 905 for Thursday's game against the Swarm, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
Given that the Raptors are potentially very light on depth for Thursday's game with C.J. Miles (hip) questionable and Kawhi Leonard (rest) and OG Anunoby (personal) out, an opportunity for Richardson to get some quality minutes with Toronto may have been open, but he will remain on assignment for Thursday's G League contest.
