anyone know when will richardson play again? ive been searching for dates and found nothing....does anyone have any clue?we really need him to come back, I know we got a few players from indiana that are very productive, but there really is no 'replacement player' for richardson
He should be back after the All Star break. I hope he can step up and play well after if Ellis is still hurt, because we just lost another 18 points.
Jason Richardson is a very good player but did you see him play before the injury...? He was only averagin 12.7 ppg which is very poor. Over the last 3 years he was averaging like 21 ppg. Maybe the injuries are finally starting to get to this guy and maybe his career is making a turn for the worst.
Hey dumbass, he just had knee surgery before the season started. He was at 70 percent and before he got injured he was just starting to get back into the groove. J-Rich played through injury all year last year, and he has improved each year in his career. This year, I don't think J-Rich will avearge 23 a game, but next year, he should be back and better than ever.

Still 12 ppg is still pretty bad for an elite scorer like Jason Richardson. Amare came off knee surgery too and he didn't take that too go back to his old self and dominate inside. J-Rich won't average 20 ppg next year IMO.
You have to remember, J-Rich had to adjust to a new offense, Amare had played with D'Anotoni for a few years in the same system. And a lot of J-Rich's game came on his elevation. J-Rich's two great factors were his explosiveness to the rack, and his ability to hang in the air, and seperate himself from the defender on his jumpshot. After his surgery, he hasn't been able to do that, and his surgery should be healed by now and all he has to worry about is his hand. The old J-Rich will be back, I've watched him play since he became a Warrior, and he is one of the toughest players in the league and has played through multiple injuries in his career and still gotten better.
