Will Richard started on Thursday and finished with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs), one rebound, two assists, one block and two three-pointers against the Heat.

Richard got the starting nod for the second straight game and for the third time this season. Multiple players have filled out the fifth starting spot with Jimmy Butler III (knee) sidelined to start the year. Richard only played 16 minutes in this game, with Georges Niang and Brandon Williams each surpassing 20 minutes and scoring in double figures. Richard may continue to start, but he isn’t worth adding off the waiver wire.
