Richardson (thigh) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's exhibition versus the Magic, Shandel Richardson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has missed a handful of games with a bruised thigh, but it was never considered to be an overly serious issue and he appears to have been given the green light for a return. He'll presumably slot into a starting role right away, though it wouldn't be surprising if his workload was limited considering he's fresh off an injury and it's still a meaningless preseason contest.

Richardson (thigh) will not play Friday against the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hope was that Richardson would be cleared to return Friday, but instead he'll miss his third straight game and now set his sights on Monday's matchup with Orlando.

Richardson (quadriceps) is a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against Washington, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Erik Spoelstra noted that if Richardson is feeling anything less than 100 percent that he'll sit out. As a result, he's a risky DFS option close to lineup lock.

Richardson (quadriceps) appears healthy and could play Friday against Washington, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson managed to practice Thursday after missing Tuesday's game against Charlotte because of a bruised thigh. He wasn't on Miami's injury report following practice, so even if he is held out of a meaningless exhibition, he appears to have returned to health.

Richardson (quadriceps) practiced Thursday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was held out of Tuesday's game against the Hornets. There's no indication the injury is serious, and coach Erik Spoelstra was likely being precautionary by holding Richardson out. Encouragingly, Richardson was back at practice Thursday and should tentatively be considered questionable for Friday's contest against the Wizards.

Richardson (quadriceps) won't play Tuesday against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson will miss his second straight preseason contest due to a thigh bruise. The injury doesn't appear severe and the Heat are likely holding him out as a precaution, given there's no need to rush him back for a preseason game. Richardson's next chance to return will come Friday against Washington.

Richardson (thigh) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson missed the preseason opener with a bruised thigh and is in danger of sitting out a second straight contest. He'll likely test out the injury during pregame warmups, so we might not get official word on his availability until much closer to tip-off. It wouldn't be surprising if he was ultimately held out considering it's a meaningless preseason contest, but continue to monitor his status throughout the day.

Richardson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson sat out the team's preseason opener Sunday against the Spurs with a bruised thigh, but apparently has a chance to rejoin the action a few days later. Look for Richardson to test out the discomfort during Tuesday's morning shootaround and another update should be provided shortly after that session. If cleared, Richardson would likely jump into the starting five immediately, though there's a decent chance he'd only see limited minutes.

Richardson (thigh) will sit out Sunday's preseason opener against the Spurs, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was forced to exit Saturday's practice early after suffering a bruised left thigh and will now sit out Sunday's contest as well. The fact that it's just listed as a bruise is encouraging that Richardson won't miss extended time, but it will at least cost him one outing. His next opportunity to make his preseason debut will be Tuesday against the Hornet, though Richardson will likely need to put in some sort of practice Monday if he wants to have a chance to be cleared.

Richardson left Saturday's practice early after suffering a left thigh contusion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson sustained the injury during a scrimmage at practice. The Heat could just be exercising caution, so the severity of the injury is unknown at this time. His availability for Sunday's exhibition matchup with the Spurs is seemingly up in the air at this point. Expect an update on his status once the team provides more clarity on the situation.
