Sixers’ Josh Richardson talks protests, NBA return, training, and more

In a conference call with reporters on Monday, Josh Richardson was asked questions about a wide range of topics. He gave thoughtful answers and discussed everything from continuing to speak up against racial injustice in Orlando to training at the team facility again, so here’s a selection of key takeaways.

The NBA’s return in Orlando

Richardson made it clear that he’s excited to play basketball again, but he isn’t excited to be in the Orlando bubble. He also believes keeping people’s attention on the movement against racial injustice is essential.

“I think that we need to keep the focus on what’s important, and that’s the social climate right now, and the inequalities that have been happening for African Americans for so long,” Richardson said.
