Miami Heat News: Josh Richardson Expected to Return After All-Star Break
- Updated: February 14, 2017
The string of injuries that had plagued the Miami Heat during the first few months of the season have recently subsided, with the pending return of Josh Richardson the most recent bit of good news on that front. The guard is expected to be back in uniform for the team’s Feb. 24 road contest against the Atlanta Hawks.
That barrage of injuries had resulted in the Heat invoking a rarely-used roster exception. The rules behind that exception explain why Richardson won’t be available for the team’s Wednesday night road game against the Houston Rockets, which will be the team’s final contest before the All-Star break.
