Heat's Josh Richardson: Set to miss at least two more weeks
Richardson (foot) will officially miss at least two more weeks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis:
Richardson remains in a walking boot while battling a sprained left foot, and it sounds as though the two-week timetable is considered a bare minimum, as he'll need to miss at least that amount of time in order for the Heat to receive a roster exemption to add a 16th player. The Heat will use that medical hardship exemption on D-League forward Okaro White, who will sign with the team and is expected to be available Tuesday against the Rockets. In the meantime, Dion Waiters should continue starting at shooting guard for Richardson and absorb the bulk of his minutes.
