Former Syracuse star Malachi Richardson bounces back in second NBA summer league game

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Two days after struggling in the Toronto Raptors' opening game in the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Malachi Richardson bounced back with a stellar shooting performance on Sunday.

Richardson, the former Syracuse University standout, scored 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the field in the Raptors' 103-92 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Richardson showed off his shooting range, canning four out of five shots from 3-point range.

The game was far different from Richardson's outing in Toronto's first game in this year's summer league. In a 90-77 loss to New Orleans on Friday, Richardson managed to score nine points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field.
