EDGE Analysis

Richardson will miss his second game in a row, as he remains under the weather. He's had a minor role for the Heat this season, averaging 18.6 minutes in six regular-season appearances. With Jimmy Butler (knee) also out, players such as Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez could be busier than usual.

Richardson will not play in Sunday's game against the Raptors due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson is feeling under the weather, and the Heat will err on the side of caution. The veteran wing's next chance to suit up will be on the second night of Miami's back-to-back set in Boston on Monday.

Richardson (heel) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

After logging a full practice Friday, Richardson has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's tilt. The veteran guard is averaging 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 18.8 minutes per game this season.

Richardson (heel) participated in Friday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was held out of Thursday's practice due to the heel injury, though he was able to participate Friday. His status for Sunday's game against Dallas is expected to be updated Saturday. Richardson has averaged 4.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 18.2 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Richardson didn't practice Thursday due to a heel injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson's absence from practice is a bad sign for his availability for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks. However, the Heat are unlikely to drop an official injury report clarifying Richardson's status before Saturday at the earliest.

Richardson closed Sunday's 119-110 loss to Indiana with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the absence of Jimmy Butler (ankle), Richardson hasn't been able to ramp up his fantasy production much. He's had a very slow start to the campaign by his standards, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 three-pointers on 31.3 percent shooting from the field through seven contests.

Richardson recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 21 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson scored his first points of the season in his third appearance and set season-high marks in points, assists and steals during Friday's loss. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he's forced to miss time, Richardson would likely have increased responsibilities, though he may still be on a minutes restriction after missing the start of the season due to a shoulder injury.

Richardson played 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 118-98 win over the Wizards, finishing with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson made his season debut Saturday after he missed the Heat's first three games with left heel inflammation before getting the green light to suit up in Monday's 106-98 win over the Pistons. He ultimately didn't play in that contest, then was ruled out for Wednesday's loss to the Knicks before he finally saw some action Saturday. Richardson ended up joining the Miami rotation as a replacement for Haywood Highsmith, who didn't check into the game until 2:11 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Heat held a 22-point lead.
