Nick Richards Uncertain For Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Richards sat out on Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss both games of the back-to-back set. The absence of Richards should mean that Taj Gibson gets the start, but Mark Williams will split up the minutes with him. Richards made his season debut last week and has been playing well in three games. He's worth rostering in most fantasy formats because he's a solid contributor when healthy. Neither Gibson or Williams are worth streaming if Richards is forced to sit out.

Nick Richards Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an ankle injury. Richards rolled his ankle during Thursday's game against the Knicks but was able to finish the contest. The injury may have flared up since then, leaving his availability for Saturday in doubt. If Richards is unable to play, Mark Williams is expected to take on a larger role, with Moussa Diabate potentially seeing increased minutes as the backup center. Despite only appearing in eight games this season, Richards has been productive, averaging 11.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. Fantasy managers will be hoping for his return to the court soon.

Nick Richards Might Return Against The Hawks

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (rib) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 26-year-old last played in the November 1 meeting with the Boston Celtics. However, he's been on the shelf since. With Grant Williams (knee) and Mark Williams (foot) on the shelf, the Hornets could certainly use him back on the floor, especially with even more depth issues caused by the injuries to LaMelo Ball (calf) and Miles Bridges (knee). If Richards returns on Saturday, he might not see his usual workload. As a result, Moussa Diabate could continue to have a place in fantasy lineups for at least a few more games, although mostly for category managers looking for rebounds.

Mark Williams, Nick Richards Assigned To G League For Rehab

Charlotte Hornets centers Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) have both been sent to the team's G League affiliate on a rehab assignment. They will be practicing with the Greensboro Swarm on Monday, but don't have a specific timetable for their return to the Hornets. Williams has been out since early December of last season while Richards hasn't played since November 1 of this season. Both big men would regularly get minutes when back in the lineup, with Williams having the higher ceiling based on his play early on.

Nick Richards Ruled Out For Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (rib) is out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to rib soreness. Richards, who returned to practice Thursday, has not been cleared to play and will miss the matchup. The 26-year-old has been highly effective this season, averaging 11.0 points and 10.0 rebounds while shooting over 63% from the field. His last game was on November 1st against the Boston Celtics. Richards' next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Orlando Magic. In his absence, Tidjane Salaun and Moussa Diabate are expected to take on additional frontcourt responsibilities.

Nick Richards To Miss Some Time

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (rib) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This comes as little surprise after Richards suffered a rib cartilage fracture during last Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. The team plans to hold out Richards until after the upcoming road trip. That means, Richards won't be re-evaluated until November 18 at the earliest. Grant Williams and Taj Gibson figure to see increased playing time. Williams finished with five points, three rebounds, and two steals across 21 minutes on Monday. Gibson started that game, but didn't offer much more value during his 16 minutes of playing time. Fantasy managers are probably only going to get low-end value out of these two.

Nick Richards Reportedly On Knicks' Radar

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards has reportedly been on the New York Knicks' radar this offseason. The Knicks lack frontcourt options and have been linked with multiple big men. Richards is among them, and he could come in on a team-friendly contract, as the seven-foot Jamaican is only due to be paid $5 million in each of the next two seasons. Richards, a former second-round pick, had a solid campaign with the Hornets in 2023-24, averaging 9.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 26.3 minutes. He boosted his numbers to 10.1 points, 8.8 boards, and 1.2 swats as a starter.

Nick Richards Out On Friday Night

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) won't play on Friday against the Celtics. The 26-year-old hasn't been as productive as he was a few months ago, so his absence isn't much of a blow for fantasy managers. However, with Richards and Grant Williams (ankle) both ruled out, Aleksej Pokusevski should draw serious value consideration for any DFS contest.

Nick Richards Continues To Sit On Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) isn't ready to return to the lineup on Friday against Orlando. The team has downgraded Richards from questionable to out, resulting in his third consecutive absence. Grant Williams has moved to the starting unit as Richards' replacement. The 25-year-old has averaged 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in the role. He's likely to start again on Friday, with Charlotte short of options at the center position.

Nick Richards Could Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 26-year-old has been the Hornets' starting center since Mark Williams (back) went down a few months ago. He's played well with the first five, averaging 10.1 points, 8.8 boards, and 1.2 blocks in 51 starts. Richards missed the last two games because of a foot injury, so if he remains out, Grant Williams (ankle) could remain in the middle. But if he can't suit up, Aleksej Pokusevski, Davis Bertans, or JT Thor could see more work. However, it's hard to tell which player will see the most action.
