Josh Richardson explodes for 34/5/6 line in Sunday's loss
by Alex Burns | Heat Correspondent | Sun, Aug 9th 9:43pm EDT
Josh Richardson posted 34 points (13-20 FG, 2-2 FT, 6-10 3PT), five rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during the Sixers 121-124 loss to the Blazers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact:
With Ben Simmons (knee) out and Joel Embiid (foot) leaving early, the Sixers were in need of some firepower on offense and Richardson stepped up. The 26-year-old guard responded with a season-high 34 points on 60 percent shooting from three and 65 percent overall from the field. With Simmons and Embiid nursing injuries, Richardson is in line to see a major bump in usage and could become an attractive fantasy option as a result. He'll look to keep things rolling against the surging Suns on Tuesday.
