What’s new in Heat’s world: Whiteside ready, Richardson out, Dragic surprised by ejection

It’s seems like every time the Miami Heat gets a player back from the injured list another takes his place.

With center Hassan Whiteside expected to return from a four-game abscence Sunday afternoon’s game against the Clippers, the Heat had another man go down Saturday when guard Josh Richardson left practice early to go have an MRI performed on his left ankle, which a spokesman said had been bothering him for a couple days.

Richardson, who already missed all of training camp and the first four games of the regular season recovering from a sprained MCL in his right knee and then another six games with a sprained right ankle, left the gym at the Winward School in the Var Mista neighborhood of west Los Angeles in a walking boot and accompanied by trainer Jay Sabol.
