INJURIES

Fails to crack 10 minutes in return Richards (concussion) logged nine minutes and provided four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Saturday's 123-117 loss to the Timberwol...
Impact Though head coach Steve Clifford ran a tight nine-man rotation Saturday, the Hornets' streamlined bench didn't necessarily open up more playing time for Richards, who was making his return from a six-game absence due to a concussion. With Miles Bridges having recently returned from his season-opening suspension shortly before Richards sustained his concussion, the latter could see his minutes outlook suffer moving forward now that the Charlotte frontcourt is more crowded. PJ Washington has recently moved to the second unit and now profiles as the top big man off the bench, with his ability to serve as a small-ball center perhaps cutting into Richards' role as Mark Williams' primary backup.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Set to play against Minnesota Richards (concussion) is available for Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Impact Richards has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing the previous six games with a concussion. Richards will likely serve as the backup center to Mark Williams but could be put on a minutes restriction.
DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Saturday Richards (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Richards has missed the last six matchups due to a concussion, but it's encouraging that he's labeled as questionable for Saturday's game rather than being immediately ruled out. If he's cleared to suit up against the Timberwolves, he could face a minutes restriction.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still sidelined Richards (concussion) is out for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Richards's absence streak will extend to six games Thursday while in concussion protocols. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.
NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Richards (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Richards will miss a fifth straight game due to a concussion. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Brooklyn. In Richards' absence, Miles Bridges, P.J. Washington and JT Thor are candidates for increased playing time as the backup center behind Mark Williams.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Sunday Richards (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Magic.
Impact Richards will miss his fourth game in a row for the Hornets. Charlotte has used some smaller lineups in Richards' absence, with JT Thor getting some extra reps with the second unit.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out against Washington Richards (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.
Impact Richards's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday while in concussion protocols. He will have extra time to recover ahead of Sunday's matchup with Orlando.
NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still out Richards (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Celtics.
Impact Richards landed in concussion protocols and will be sidelined for a second straight game Monday. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Washington. In his absence, P.J. Washington and Miles Bridges will likely play more center with the second suit.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Knicks Richards won't play in Saturday's game versus the Knicks due to a concussion.
Impact Richards likely suffered his concussion in Friday's matchup with Milwaukee, causing him to miss his first game of the season Saturday. Mark Williams and P.J. Washington will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. Richards' next chance to suit up will be Monday's matchup with Boston.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid effort off bench Richards closed Sunday's 129-107 loss to the Knicks with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 22 minutes.
Impact Richards outplayed Charlotte's starting center, Mark Williams, despite the fact both played similar minutes, but that does not mean Richards will move to the starting lineup any time soon. He is playing well as a backup, and while that role limits his upside considerably, it's worth noting that he has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances.
NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chips in double-double Richards amassed 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks over 18 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 win over the Pacers.
Impact Richards and Mark Williams perfectly chopped all 48 minutes of Saturday's game for the Hornets. Richards' performance is indicative of his ceiling while Williams is healthy, but Richard remains a quality back-up big showcasing extra shot-blocking prowess this season. The 25-year-old is averaging 4.7 blocks per 36 minutes.
NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Limited usage in loss Richards accumulated four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 13 minutes during Monday's 133-121 loss to the Nets.
Impact Richards logged the fewest minutes of any Hornet to take the court Monday. Mark Williams played a modest 23 minutes, but he was far more impactful (18 points, seven rebounds). Charlotte's interior defense is getting gashed, and Richards is more of an offensive rebounder and motor big than a solution to the Hornets' paint protection issues.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Top producer off bench in loss Richards notched 15 points (4-4 FG, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes in Thursday's 127-99 preseason loss to Boston.
Impact Richards led all bench players in Thursday's preseason finale in scoring while finishing with the second-highest point total on the team. Richards rounds out the preseason averaging 9.8 points and 8.3 rebounds over 21.5 minutes over four preseason contests.

Siakam scores 22, leads Raptors over Hornets 120-100

Pascal Siakam led a balanced Toronto Raptors attack to their fifth win in six games over the injury-riddled Charlotte Hornets
APRIL 5, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Will start Tuesday Richards will start Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact With Mark Williams (ankle) unlikely to play, Richards will return to the starting lineup Tuesday. Richards recently started eight straight appearances, averaging 10.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 25.9 minutes during that stretch.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Sunday Richards is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Richards played well as a starter while Mark Williams was recovering from a thumb injury, but he'll head back to his regular bench role now that the former Duke star is healthy. Richards is averaging 7.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game when coming off the bench this season.
MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Delivers double-double Richards ended with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over the Mavericks.
Impact Richards recorded a double-double for the third time over his last six appearances and fared well as a starter, but there's a chance he might move back to the bench now that Mark Williams is back from a thumb injury. Having said that, Richards could still have value in category-based leagues if he keeps playing around 20 minutes per contest. He's averaging 9.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in his last seven games, all as a starter.

Dallas faces Charlotte, aims to halt 3-game slide

Dallas heads into the matchup against Charlotte after losing three in a row
MARCH 25, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Another strong rebounding night Richards ended Thursday's 115-96 loss to the Pelicans with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.
Impact Richards continues to be a force on the glass in the absence of Mark Williams (thumb), posting 9.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over his past seven appearances. As long as Williams remains out, Richards should remain a quality fantasy asset, but his overall potential is limited by his offensive game.
