Richardson (foot) is out Wednesday's game versus the Pistons, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson will miss the Heat's regular-season opener Wednesday due to a foot injury he sustained in the preseason. Caleb Martin, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Richardson's next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Boston.

Richardson (foot) did not practice Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson tweaked his foot back on Oct. 18 and has yet to return to practice. The veteran guard said Monday that he was uncertain about playing on Opening Night against the Pistons on Wednesday, and it certainly seems unlikely at this point. The good news for Miami is that Caleb Martin (knee) has been cleared to suit up.

Richardson (foot) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson is uncertain whether he'll be able to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons, and it's discouraging that he missed another practice Monday. The 30-year-old has been dealing with a right foot injury since Oct. 18 and is considered day-to-day after recent X-rays came back negative.

Richardson (foot) is considered day-to-day after an MRI came back negative, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is good news for Richardson, but he'll have to wait for the discomfort to subside before getting the green light. Richardson has already been ruled out for Friday's preseason game, and he should be considered questionable for Opening Night on Oct. 25 against the Pistons.

Richardson won't return to Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right foot injury.
EDGE Analysis
The loss of Richardson makes Miami's depth thinner for this contest, though further tests will be needed to determine the severity of the injury with Opening Night only a few days away.

Richardson will enter the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
With several players sitting out Wednesday's tilt, Richardson will slide into the starting five alongside Duncan Robinson, Jamal Cain, Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo. Without a true point guard in the first unit, Richardson could end up being one of Miami's lead ball handlers and facilitators Wednesday.

Richardson (foot) is available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson missed Miami's last two preseason games due to a sore left foot, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. It's unclear whether he'll face any limitations against Brooklyn, but if he's fully healthy, he could see plenty of usage since the Heat are dealing with multiple absences.

Richardson (foot) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson is still tending to a sore left foot, so the team will play it safe and hold him out of action. The foot issue will be something to monitor leading up to Opening Night on Oct. 25, but as of now there's been no indication that it's anything of great concern.
