Since his return from injury shortly before the All-Star break, Josh Richardson has found it difficult to establish a rhythm in the Philadelphia 76ers‘ offense. The two-guard has seen his production bottom out across the board, and his most recent performances have not soothed any concerns.
Over the past eight games, Richardson is averaging 9.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 29.6 minutes. He’s shooting 37.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep during that span. Not the best batch of games.
The Sixers need Richardson to step it up, especially in lieu of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
