Josh Richardson not worried about shoulder for Heat
Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) said he's feeling fine in advance of Game 1 against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Richardson's shoulder doesn't look to be an issue in Round 2 after requiring an MRI after Game 6 of the series with the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie averaged 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 three-pointers in the Heat's opening series and will continue to be a middling fantasy option against the Raptors.
Richardson posted a 0.7 nERD, which ranked 73rd, in 52 games played in the regular season. The rookie averaged 28.9 minutes per game against the Hornets, up from his 21.3 minutes per game during the regular season.
