After participating in Heat shootaround at Temple University on Tuesday morning, Richardson estimated his chances of playing at 60 percent.
“I’m optimistic but not 100 percent sure,” he said. “I want to play. There’s a little bit of pain. Still sore. I’m going to warm up. I went through the whole shootaround. We’ll see how it feels later.”
Was there any pain? “A little bit but nothing I can’t fight through.”
Coach Erik Spoelstra said the team is still listing him as questionable but that his work during shootaround was “encouraging. We’ll see how he responds in the afternoon.”
