Josh Richardson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) was ruled out during Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The veteran sharpshooter didn't last long, logging just seven minutes and scoring two points. The Heat were down Jimmy Butler (personal) heading into this one, so Richardson had a chance to benefit. However, he's now dealing with another shoulder injury, which has been an issue this year. Nonetheless, Richardson will likely make an appearance on the injury report heading into Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee. But if he doesn't play, Duncan Robinson should see more action.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) remains out on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Richardson has missed the last three games because of back spasms. However, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy contributor this season, so his absence won't impact nearly as many fantasy managers. But with Jimmy Butler (foot) and Caleb Martin (ankle) sidelined, Richardson could have received more minutes. But now guys like Duncan Robinson and Jamal Cain may see an uptick on the scoring end, although not enough to consider for any fantasy lineup.
