Sixers guard Josh Richardson to return vs. Heat, Furkan Korkmaz out

The Philadelphia 76ers will welcome back Josh Richardson to their starting lineup on Saturday.

The Philadelphia 76ers will be looking for a fourth straight win on Saturday when they welcome in old friend Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in what is expected to be an emotional night at the Wells Fargo Center. On top of that, the Sixers will be welcoming back their starting shooting guard who they acquired from the Heat in the sign-and-trade.

The Sixers will welcome back Josh Richardson to their starting lineup after he missed the previous two games with a hip injury. The guy who replaced him in the starting lineup, Furkan Korkmaz, will miss the game with a left ankle sprain and he will be re-evaluated before Monday’s game with the Toronto Raptors.

The Sixers are coming off a businesslike win on Friday over the San Antonio Spurs and they will be looking to continue to grow as a team. The team’s starting unit has played a grand total of 70 minutes so far so they will be able to finally add to that and continue to grow chemistry. [lawrence-related id=19904,19894,19887]
