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.

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.

Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (back) is questionable to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game as Richardson battles a lower back issue. Miami could really use his versatility in Saturday's matchup, as Richardson is one of five big rotational pieces dealing with health problems ahead of the game, and the team could be shorthanded again. With many regulars unavailable, R.J. Hampton, Jamal Cain, and Nikola Jovic played big minutes in Thursday's win over Golden State and could be asked to step up again versus the Jazz.

Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This was expected as Richardson was considered doubtful for this game due to lower back discomfort. The Heat are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Richardson. That means, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro should all see a bump in minutes and increased fantasy value.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) is expected to suit up on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 30-year-old is probable after battling back spasms. Unfortunately, he has averaged 10.0 points and shooting a career-low 32.7 points this season, so his expected availability for the Christmas meeting with Philly won't mean much for many fantasy managers.

Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (back) will be available again on Saturday against the Bulls following a two-game absence. The Heat head out for revenge after dropping Thursday's meeting with Chicago 124-116. Jamal Cain saw more action than usual without Richardson, and R.J. Hampton entered the rotation on Thursday. Both will need to settle for lesser roles again on Saturday. Richardson has had a decent campaign in his return to Miami, posting 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 27.9 minutes.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) has continued to deal with back spasms but they've subsided enough for him to be tagged as available for the team's game against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The veteran wing hasn't missed a game since the third game of the season in October, so the injury report status may seem to just be a formality. Either way, Richardson hasn't been much of a consistent fantasy asset outside of a bit of points and one three per game. So, for those fantasy managers in shallow leagues, he can be a streaming option if others get hurt.

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (back) is seen as probable for Tuesday's encounter with Charlotte. He's on the injury report with back spasms, but it appears likely that Richardson will be good to go. The 30-year-old has had a pair of very solid efforts lately, scoring 28 points across the past two games with 62.5 percent shooting from deep. He's averaged 7.6 points for the entire campaign, adding 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in seven games. The Hornets are once again struggling and sit among the league's worst defensive teams, with only San Antonio allowing more points to the opposition, so this is a very favorable matchup for Richardson and the Heat.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) is officially listed as doubtful for the team's Monday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran guard has been dealing with a right heel issue that has kept him out of every game so far this season. It doesn't seem like he'll be making his return just yet, but there's a small outside chance since the team hasn't ruled him fully out. While he remains sidelined, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely see more minutes. The former has been the better streaming option in the early going.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) remains out for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The veteran has battled a heel injury since the preseason, so fantasy managers must wait a bit longer for his debut. In the meantime, Jimmy Butler (rest), Kevin Love (shoulder), and Caleb Martin (knee) are also out versus the Timberwolves, so Duncan Robinson could have a big game on Saturday.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Richardson will now miss his second straight regular season contest after he sat out the preseason finale as well. The team is calling it right foot discomfort, so hopefully it's a minor issue. The expectation is that Duncan Robinson (foot) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. should see extended playing time with Richardson out for at least one more game.

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) will sit out Wednesday's season opener against the Pistons. He suffered a left foot injury a week ago, and there hasn't been enough time for Richardson to recover. Richardson has been projected to be a starter for Miami, and there will be a healthy dose of minutes to be shared around with his absence. Caleb Martin and Duncan Robinson figure to be the main beneficiaries, while rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. could also get extra opportunities. However, this is a bad matchup for fantasy managers to target, with the clash in Miami projected to be the lowest-scoring contest on Wednesday's slate.

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) is not traveling with the team to Houston for Friday's preseason finale against the Rockets. It rules Richardson out after departing Wednesday's preseason game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a right foot injury. The 30-year-old swingman has six days to recover before the regular-season opener vs. the Detroit Pistons on Oct. 25. Richardson is aiming to rediscover his early-career success during this second stint in South Beach, where he once experienced some of the best play of his career. Though virtually the entire Miami depth chart is on the injury report, look for names like Duncan Robinson and Dru Smith to collect more playing time for however long Richardson is shelved.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (foot) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. It appears Richardson aggravated the foot issue that has been bothering him during the preseason. The expectation is that the Heat will have Richardson undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue. Dru Smith is likely to benefit the most with Richardson and Kyle Lowry both banged up at the moment.

Miami Heat guards Tyler Herro and Josh Richardson could end up taking on bigger roles depending on what happens between now and the start of the season. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, if the team doesn't land Damian Lillard in a trade, then Herro and Richardson are two possible options to take on more of the primary ball-handling duties. Neither of them are playmakers when it comes to being a primary ball-handler, but this could increase the fantasy stock if they have more opportunities with the ball in their hands. This is a situation to monitor as the season rolls around.

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra is extremely happy to have Josh Richardson back on the squad. The team's former second-round draft pick signed a two-year deal with the Heat in the summer after playing for five different teams in the past four seasons. "To be able to get somebody like J-Rich, who we are all really comfortable with, who we spent so many hours and years spending time developing him and where he feels also comfortable in our system and how we operate, we just feel very fortunate that we were able to get him when we were able to get him," Spoelstra told Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. In the interview, Spoelstra also praised Richardson's versatility and ability to play multiple positions. The 29-year-old should have no issues settling into the team, and some projections even have him as a starter for the upcoming campaign.
