The Heat begin their 2016-17 preseason training camp on September 27, with their regular season getting underway in Orlando on October 26. Given the latter timeline, even the most optimistic rehabilitation likely means that Richardson will see limited action to start.
The second-year guard was expected to be in the mix to replace Heat legend Dwyane Wade at shooting guard. One player who looks to benefit from Richardson’s absence though is free agent signee Dion Waiters.
