EDGE Analysis

Richardson sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to Boston and was sent in for an MRI, which confirmed that he dislocated his right shoulder. He'll be sidelined for the Heat's final two games before the All-Star break and will likely miss time to begin the second half, with a clearer date for his return to come once he's re-evaluated. Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez could all have higher minutes floors in Richardson's absence, while Haywood Highsmith should gain some security in the Miami rotation.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson sustained a right shoulder injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against Boston and underwent an MRI on Monday. The issue will cost him multiple weeks, so he likely won't be back on the court until at least late February or early March. Duncan Robinson will likely have an opportunity to see increased playing time in Richardson's absence.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after Sunday's 110-106 loss to the Celtics that Richardson (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on Monday, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Along with Richardson, Terry Rozier (knee) is scheduled to get an MRI on Monday after both players exited Sunday's contest with injuries. Richardson was the first of the two to depart, checking out of the game with nine minutes remaining in the second quarter when he said he felt his right shoulder pop out and pop back when he unsuccessfully tried to strip the Celtics' Jayson Tatum of the ball. Based on Richardson's own description of the injury, he seems to be dealing with a dislocated shoulder, but the MRI should bring further clarity on the nature and extent of his health concern. The Heat haven't officially ruled Richardson or Rozier out for the front end of a back-to-back set Tuesday in Milwaukee, though both would appear unlikely to be available at this stage.

Richardson won't return to Sunday's game against Boston after suffering a right shoulder injury in the second quarter. He finished with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists in seven minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was caught in a collision and immediately went to the ground grabbing his right shoulder. He was then promptly escorted by Miami's training personnel to the locker room, with Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel speculating that Richardson suffered a shoulder dislocation. Richardson will likely be sent in for further testing before the Heat provide a firmer diagnosis of his injury ahead of Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.

Richardson totaled 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 103-95 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his sixth start of the season due to Tyler Herro (head) being a late scratch, Richardson saw his biggest workload since Dec. 20 and scored double-digit points for the third time in the last four games. The veteran guard is averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.8 threes during that stretch, and with Duncan Robinson (concussion) also currently sidelined, Richardson's short-term usage and fantasy value are on the upswing.
