Richardson (back) will not play in Thursday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
This was the expectation with Richardson carrying a doubtful tag into Thursday's game. The Heat are going to be very shorthanded, as Jimmy Butler (calf), Kyle Lowry (rest) and Caleb Martin (ankle) are also out. Look for Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez to each see heavy run against the Warriors, while Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo will lead the offense.

Richardson (back) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson partially participated in Wednesday's practice session and will travel with the Heat ahead of their West Coast road trip, but he'll likely be forced to miss at least one additional game due to low back discomfort. R.J. Hampton, Jamal Cain and Jaime Jaquez are candidates to see additional playing time Thursday.

Richardson (back) partially participated in Wednesday's practice session, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was unavailable for Miami's Christmas Day matchup against the 76ers after being listed as probable. However, it's encouraging that he practiced Wednesday, even in a limited capacity. He'll travel with the team ahead of Thursday's game against Golden State, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action.

Richardson (back) will not play in Monday's game against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough blow for Miami, as Richardson was previously carrying a probable tag. The timing isn't ideal either, as Jimmy Butler is sitting out with a calf injury. Jaime Jaquez, Caleb Martin and Duncan Robinson will have more opportunity to produce with Richardson and Butler sidelined.

Richardson is dealing with minor back spasms, but he is probable to play Monday against Philadelphia, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson has appeared in Miami's prior four contests, logging a typical 29-minute workload in Friday's win over Atlanta. He's firmly on track to play Monday against Philadelphia and would serve a critical role if Jimmy Butler (calf) is unable to suit up.

Richardson won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bulls due to back spasms.

Richardson will miss the second leg of Miami's back-to-back Thursday due to back spasms after missing Wednesday's contest with a headache. Jamal Cain will likely continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Richardson's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Chicago.

Richardson (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was unable to participate in Miami's morning shootaround Wednesday due to a headache, and he'll be unable to suit up against the Hornets. Caleb Martin, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson are candidates to see increased run in the first half of a back-to-back set Wednesday.

Richardson is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to a headache, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat are already shorthanded for Wednesday, so it would be a tough blow for the team if Richardson isn't able to give it a go. Richardson woke up with a bad headache and was unable to go through the team's morning shootaround. If he's forced to miss Wednesday's game, the Heat will likely use a committee-based approach to soak up his minutes.

Richardson (knee) isn't listed on Miami's injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Richarson left Saturday's loss to Indiana due to a left knee contusion, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. The veteran has scored in double figures in seven straight appearances (three starts), averaging 15.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 31.6 minutes during that stretch.
