Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Richardson (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) will be available for the team's next game Friday against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Udoka's comments came after Richardson completed his quarantine and rejoined the Celtics for practice Wednesday. The Celtics' willingness to clear Richardson for their next game suggests that the 28-year-old guard didn't experience any overly severe symptoms of the virus while he was sidelined the past two games, if he even tested positive at all. In his first season with Boston, Richardson is averaging 9.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per contest.
