Richardson was unable to make any appearances during the preseason and has been limited in every practice he's participated in. Barring a surprise, it's likely that Richardson will be held out of Opening Night against the Magic on Wednesday.

Heat's Josh Christopher: Misses practice Monday
Christopher missed Monday's practice due to a right big toe contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Christopher's status for Wednesday's game against the Magic has yet to be determined, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable. However, Christopher is on a two-way contract with Miami and isn't guaranteed to crack the rotation on Opening Night, even if he's available.

Heat's Josh Richardson: Doesn't practice Sunday
Richardson (shoulder) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Richardson was a limited participant during training camp and was unable to suit up during the preseason. The 31-year-old is still recovering from a right shoulder surgery he underwent in March, and his status for the club's regular-season opener against the Magic on Wednesday remains unclear. Richardson is expected to come off the bench behind Tyler Herro (rest) at shooting guard, but if he misses the beginning of the season, Duncan Robinson (rest) and Alec Burks (rest) are both candidates to pick up the slack.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Struggles with shot vs. Memphis
Larsson finished Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to the Grizzlies with 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 32 minutes.
Larsson got his first start of the preseason Friday, and although he struggled from the field, he finished the game with a team-high plus-21 point differential. The rookie second-round pick is unlikely to see much playing time at the NBA level, meaning he could spend most of the 2024-25 regular season getting meaningful reps in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Heat's Josh Christopher: Leads Miami with 17 points
Christopher supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and four steals over 22 minutes in Friday's 114-109 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
With the Heat resting their starters, Christopher saw extended playing time off the bench Friday. He took advantage of the opportunity by leading the Heat in scoring, and he also contributed on the defensive end of the floor with four steals. Christopher signed a two-way contract with the Heat in July, and he'll likely spend most of the 2024-25 regular season in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Solid finish to preseason
Ware tallied 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 28 minutes in Friday's 114-109 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Ware saw extended playing time off the bench Friday as Bam Adebayo (rest) and the other prominent Heat players sat for the preseason finale. Ware led the Heat with seven rebounds, and he was responsible for both of Miami's blocked shots. Ware will likely begin the 2024-25 regular season as the primary backup at center, but his willingness to shoot from three means he could share the floor with Adebayo.
