Could return Sunday
Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

Dealing with back spasms
Richardson has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to lower-back spasms.
Analysis
Richardson will miss the front end of the Magic's back-to-back set and look to return for Sunday's road tilt against the Bucks. The rookie first-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time this season and has averaged just 7.2 minutes per game in five outings since the All-Star break.
