Richardson (foot) will start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Pacers, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Richardson's return to action Friday will mark his first appearance since January of 2013. No matter, given the deluded state of the Sixers' current roster, the 34-year-old Richardson will start for Philadelphia on Friday. While not much can be expected from the Sixers' elder statesman, it's still encouraging to see J-Rich back on the court.
