Richardson has missed the last 17 games, with a Jan. 6 matchup against the
Clippers being the last time he was on the court for the Heat. While he’s not
going to be available for Monday’s contest, it appears Richardson is on the
brink of a return and the Heat haven’t ruled out the possibility of potentially
having him for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets. That said, with Wednesday
being the last game until the All-Star break, the Heat could play it safe and
give Richardson another week and a half off for added recovery. Look for another
update following Wednesday’s practice.
