Josh Richardson

Having already sparked the Miami Heat’s second unit with his highest-scoring game of the season, Josh Richardson’s reward was an opportunity to contribute something of similar value to the starters, as well. Earning the coaches’ trust with a chance to play the fourth quarter’s entirety, Richardson maximizes the moment, converting his teammate’s drive-and-kick into a victory-sealing 3-pointer. Richardson’s catch-and-shoot bucket put a cap on a personal 8-0 run, as well as the Sacramento Kings’ comeback hopes on January 31, 2024. In using his quick trigger to give the Kings problems throughout the night, the veteran guard was among the game’s stars, needing just 27 minutes for a 24-point eruption alongside five rebounds, three assists, one block, and six 3-pointers.
