Josh Richardson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
