Richardson is questionable with lower back tightness for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson is coming off his first start in the season in which he posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists. If Richardson does not play, Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley and Doug McDermott are all candidates to either start or see extended minutes with Devin Vassell (knee) already ruled out Sunday.

Richardson produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson drew his first start of the season in place of Devin Vassell (knee), and he filled in admirably. The Tennessee product finished in double figures for the third time in four games, but he'll likely back into a reserve role Friday if Vassell is cleared to return.
