In appreciation of Josh Richardson, who sparks joy

As far as 34-win seasons go, you could do worse than the 2021-22 Spurs’ run, which carries over into the quasi-postseason with likely top-10 lottery odds as a kicker. One of its many pleasant developments has been the midseason arrival of Josh Richardson, the 28-year-old swingman who most of us knew as a standout in Miami who for reasons unknown didn’t quite stick in his next three stops.

Maybe it was that second detail that muted expectations, maybe it was the emotional reckoning with Derrick White’s departure — either way, few would’ve predicted what Richardson’s delivered statistically or otherwise.
