Jason Richardson (knee) is expected to return to action on Wednesday against the Wizards. Richardson missed Monday's game due to weakness in his knee, but he's apparently feeling better and Stan Van Gundy expects him to play. Richardson is having a disappointing season, averaging just 9.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 treys on 41.4 percent shooting.
