One week ago, when the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League was just hitting its stride, the Miami Heat’s Josh Richardson made an appearance.
Fitted with Heat gear and a pair of modest gold chains, Richardson finding his way back to Vegas was familiar territory.
Three years prior, Richardson was sitting much the same, albeit on the bench with the rest of Miami’s Summer League hopefuls. Alongside fellow then-rookie Justise Winslow, the duo impressed enough to fall into the regular rotation in Miami’s 2015-16 lineup.
Richardson’s stopover in Vegas didn’t last long.
This week he’s posted in Santa Barbara, California, putting in weight room hours to continue his growth ahead of his fourth NBA season.
