Richardson (ankle) will return after the All-Star break, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

By rule, since the Heat used a roster exception to add a player (Okaro White) to the roster, Richardson must remain out an additional two weeks since the addition. As a result, he'll remain out Wednesday against the Rockets, with the expectation that he'll be ready for game action when the Heat resume play on Feb. 24 in Atlanta. A severely sprained left ankle has kept Richardson on the sideline since Jan. 6.
