The Utah Jazz have decided to waive forward Josh Richardson after acquiring him in a trade on Wednesday. Richardson was traded from the Miami Heat to the Detroit Pistons, but was quickly moved again to Utah. The Jazz had no plans of keeping Richardson and only wanted the draft pick that came along with him. Richardson hasn't played meaningful minutes this season, but there's still a chance that a contender gives him a chance to play off the bench. For now, fantasy managers can continue to stay away from Richardson.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will be out for at least two more games. He won't play in Monday's matchup against the Clippers and has also been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Lakers. Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that Richardson has returned to Miami to get an MRI on his injured right heel. Richardson has been out for nearly two months, but his absence does not significantly impact the team. Before landing on the shelf, Richardson averaged 4.0 points in 18.6 minutes across eight games.

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) draws a doubtful status for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He hasn't played since November 18 and has only appeared in eight games so far this season. The doubtful status seems to show that he's starting to trend in the right direction, but it's unclear how much more time he'll have to miss. With Jimmy Butler (suspended) also sidelined, Jamie Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith continue to start and deliver some valuable minutes along with Nikola Jovic.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will remain absent from the lineup against Portland on Saturday. He last saw action on Nov. 18 and is nursing a heel injury. The team has downgraded Richardson from questionable to out ahead of tip-off for Saturday's game. The Heat have plenty of options at the guard positions, so even when Richardson eventually returns to the rotation, it's unlikely he will get enough minutes to help fantasy managers.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) hasn't played since November 18 and was originally listed as doubtful for Thursday's game in Utah, but the veteran was upgraded to questionable and has a chance to return to action for the first time in 23 games. He has only played eight games all season, averaging 18.4 minutes and 4.0 points in his very limited action. Even when he does return, it is unclear how much work there is for him with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier taking most of the work in the backcourt and Duncan Robinson and Alec Burks serving as their primary backup.

Miami Heat guardJosh Richardson(heel) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Richardson will likely sit out due to inflammation in his right heel. Jaime Jaquez, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson will continue to see a significant amount of extra minutes since Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable and could be out of the rotation. Jimmy Butler (suspension) will also be missing in action as he continues to serve his suspension.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) was doubtful for Monday night's matchup in Sacramento, and he was downgraded to out over an hour before tipoff. Richardson has been sidelined with this heel issue since November 18, but this was the first time he had been listed as anything other than out. The upgrade in status is actually a sign that Richardson could be nearing a return, although what role he'll be returning to is very uncertain. In his eight games this season, he has only averaged 18.4 minutes and contributed only 4.0 points per game. His next chance to return is Tuesday when the Heat finish their back-to-back with a matchup against the Warriors.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) was listed as out for the Heat's Thursday night home matchup against the Pacers. Richardson has been limited to just eight games this year, and this will be his 19th straight game on the sideline. He hasn't played since November 18, and while he has been out, Alec Burks has been the team's primary backup to Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier. Burks should continue to play at least around 20 minutes per game until Richardson is ready to return, but the veteran is without a timetable to get back on the floor at this point.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will be unavailable for at least one week. Per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Richardson has had an injection in his right heel. The 31-year-old hasn't seen the court since Nov. 18, although he has recently been in the lineup. The 2024-25 campaign could not have gone much worse for Richardson, who has shot below 29 percent from the field to average 4.0 points in 18.6 minutes across eight outings. Miami has done just fine without Richardson, so his absence won't change the team's dynamics. If he can return in a week, Richardson will be out for two games, starting with Thursday's matchup against Toronto.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's match-up against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 31-year-old guard is at risk of missing another game after sitting out recent contests due to illness. Before his absence, he had seen a reduced role, averaging 18.8 minutes per game across eight appearances this season. His most recent game was on November 18th, when he played 14 minutes and scored four points against the 76ers. Richardson's playing time remains uncertain, even if he is available to play on Wednesday.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Richardson has yet to play this season as he continues to deal with multiple injuries. The Heat are calling him day-to-day, but it remains to be seen when Richardson will get on the court again. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson should see more minutes in the rotation. Richardson is not worth a look in fantasy formats when healthy.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) practiced on Friday. He was able to put some work in after sitting out Wednesday's season opener against Orlando. With him back in practice, it shouldn't take long until Richardson returns to the lineup. The team is scheduled to face Charlotte in its next game on Saturday. Richardson is a versatile backcourt option for the Heat, although he tends to be very injury-prone. The 31-year-old made 43 appearances last term, averaging 9.9 points with 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He will be battling for backup guard minutes with Duncan Robinson and Alec Burks once he's ready to play.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Orlando Magic. Richardson saw his season come to an early end last year due to a shoulder issue. He appears to be finally over that, but now Richardson is dealing with a left heel injury. The 31-year-old will miss the season opener, but will hopefully be available for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Until then, Duncan Robinson and Alec Burks figure to see increased playing time. Neither of them are likely to see enough minutes to warrant rostering in most formats. Between the two, Robinson is the better fantasy option due to his ability to shoot from beyond the arc.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) continues working his way back from season-ending shoulder surgery from last March. The 31-year-old is reportedly close to returning and was seen getting up shots after practice earlier this week. Richardson still isn't a full participant in practice, but is expected to be ready by the beginning of the regular season. Richardson could be sidelined for the beginning of training camp, which could mean more reps for Alec Burks and Duncan Robinson. Richardson finished with 9.9 points per game, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 25.6 minutes per game. The expectation is that the Heat will ease Richardson back into action, but he could be an interesting fantasy option once he's back to full health.

Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) said on Monday that he is "close to returning" from his season-ending shoulder surgery that he received in March. Richardson admitted that his recovery has been frustrating but that he has the "mental to grind through" the rest of his rehab process. The 31-year-old was performing solidly off Miami's bench before obtaining the injury in February, averaging 9.9 PPG. Richardson still will need to show some progress before receiving playing time and will likely be eased into the rotation once back. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry about targeting the veteran in drafts. However, Richardson could be an intriguing waiver wire pickup midseason should he reach his normal levels of production once healthy.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson picked up his $3 million player option on Friday. The veteran's production has declined over the last few years, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 9.9 points while shooting 34.7% from behind the arc, one of the lowest percentages of his career. Even worse, he was limited to just 43 games due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. Richardson's production likely won't improve in 2024-25, considering he's not expected to be a regular in Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery. He had a 90-minute labrum procedure to repair right shoulder instability on Wednesday. The Heat have already been without Richardson for the past eight games. The 30-year-old finishes the campaign with averages of 9.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 25.7 minutes. He's a good utility player who can return to Miami for next season if he opts into his $3.05 million player option. Duncan Robinson has carried a massive load with Richardson out, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin also get extra usage.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) will be out for an eighth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Pistons. He dislocated his right shoulder nearly a month ago, and it's unclear when Richardson will be able to return to action. His absence has left Miami without a versatile player who has averaged close to 26 minutes per game for the season. With Tyler Herro (foot) also out, Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are heavily involved off the Miami bench, and the second unit could get extra run-outs on Tuesday, as the meeting with Detroit has heavy blowout potential.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) won't be available for Thursday's matchup against Denver. This will mark his sixth straight absence. He was ruled out for several weeks with a dislocated shoulder on Feb. 12. It's a pretty tricky injury to overcome, and there haven't been any updates on Richardson's progression. His next opportunity to play comes on Saturday versus Utah, but fantasy managers certainly shouldn't bet on him returning.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics and didn't return. Unfortunately, the Heat didn't receive a positive update on his health, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting he suffered a dislocated right shoulder. The 30-year-old appeared in 43 games for Miami this season, averaging 9.9 points and shooting 34.7% from deep. While those numbers aren't terrible, they aren't enough to give him fantasy appeal in most formats. At any rate, Richardson will be re-evaluated in a few weeks. But until he's back in the lineup, Duncan Robinson (shoulder, elbow) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see more minutes.
