Analysis:

Richardson is yet to play this season after undergoing knee surgery last February. It's been a lengthy recovery process for the veteran, but it now appears possible he could return sometime after the All-Star break. Even if that is the case, though, he'd likely only play the final month or so of the season, and it's unknown what his role with the rebuilding Sixers would be.
