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.

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.

Josh Richardson (heel) will remain absent from the lineup against Portland on Saturday. He last saw action on Nov. 18 and is nursing a heel injury. The team has downgraded Richardson from questionable to out ahead of tip-off for Saturday's game. The Heat have plenty of options at the guard positions, so even when Richardson eventually returns to the rotation, it's unlikely he will get enough minutes to help fantasy managers.

Miami Heat guard
Josh Richardson (heel) hasn't played since November 18 and was originally listed as doubtful for Thursday's game in Utah, but the veteran was upgraded to questionable and has a chance to return to action for the first time in 23 games. He has only played eight games all season, averaging 18.4 minutes and 4.0 points in his very limited action. Even when he does return, it is unclear how much work there is for him with
Tyler Herro and
Terry Rozier taking most of the work in the backcourt and
Duncan Robinson and
Alec Burks serving as their primary backup.
