On track to return in Jan. Richardson (thumb) is on track to return during the second week of January, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Richardson has been out for an extended period of time after undergoing thumb surgery in early December, but he is reportedly on track to return in mid-January. Once the junior returns, the Ducks will get an immediate boost to their point-guard depth and experience, something the team is currently lacking at the moment behind Amauri Hardy. Hardy will presumably continue to start in Richardson's absence.
