According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Pelicans acquired guard Josh Richardson on Thursday. In return, San Antonio will receive Devonte' Graham and four second-round picks. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 steals throughout his career, making stops in Miami, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston, and San Antonio. He's also a career 36.5% shooter, an area that needs improvement for the Pelicans. Richardson will likely have a routine role from the ...

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Josh Richardson (knee) is on track to end a three-game absence in Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento. He's been troubled by a sore left knee, but the team has listed Richardson as probable for the game, which is a strong indication that he will be back. The veteran had a solid January, averaging 13.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The Spurs rotation tends to be very unpredictable, but it looks like Richardson has carved out a good role for himself and ...

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is dealing with right knee soreness, which will force him to miss at least this game. This isn't great timing with Jeremy Sochan (quad) also sidelined. That means, Doug McDermott and Malaki Branham should see increased playing time. Both players could be possible deep league streaming options with the Spurs shorthanded on Thursday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 6% of leaguesANALYSIS: Josh Richardson's season has been split into two similarly long parts to date. He appeared in 17 games before November 21 and then missed time until re-appearing on December 8. He started two games in the first half, and one in the second half. He averaged 23 MPG in the first one... and the same 23 MPG in the second one. In other words, there aren't many assets out there as easy to project ROS as Josh.Richardson, of course, ...

San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Richardson (personal) is available for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard was considered questionable earlier in the day due to an undisclosed reason. He should play a significant role in the rotation with Devin Vassell (knee) and Keldon Johnson (hamstring) ruled out for this game. Richardson has been playing well lately with the Spurs being shorthanded. He should be a strong streaming option for Monday's slate. The 29-year-old should ...

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a quad contusion. It sounds like Richardson is good to go and should see an increased role going forward with Devin Vassell (knee) out indefinitely. Both Richardson and Keita Bates-Diop (illness) are worth streaming in deep leagues for Friday. The Spurs are starting Romeo Langford in the place of Vassell. He'll probably play ...

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Normally, Richardson's status doesn't have a huge impact on the rotation. However, Devin Vassell (knee) is set to undergo surgery and is likely to miss significant time. Richardson has been playing more minutes lately and should have a consistent role going forward. That being said, Richardson should be rostered in most fantasy formats right now. His absence would mean more...
