This news came out during the Kings-Clippers game on Sunday when Kayte Christensen told the broadcast team that Richardson suffered a setback. While Richardson might be able to be cleared in early April, at that point the Kings would only have a few games left and they’re going to just play it safe with him so he’s fully healthy to train this summer.
Richardson tore his hamstring in the final game before the All-Star break in the last minute of a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors. He was the only rookie at the time to be getting rotation minutes and he was showing promise as a slasher and scorer.
