Heat starting small forward Josh Richardson, who sustained a sprained AC joint in his left (non-shooting) shoulder in Game 4 of the Heat-76ers playoff series, said he’s optimistic but not certain he will play in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
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.
