Josh Richardson on flopping calls being made by referees: I think it's terrible
It has reached the point where Josh Richardson no longer can take it falling down. “I don’t know,” he said of becoming a flopping focus. “I’m not usually one to worry about refs or comment on refs. But I think all three of my flopping calls were terrible. I think that they’re just not doing a very good job of being realistic.”

More on this storyline
Among the assignments for Richardson, 30, in this Heat reunion tour has been to pressure fullcourt, a mandate he continually has fulfilled — while also catching the attention of the league. “So I don’t know what it is,” he said. “Maybe I just need to start running people over and stop falling, or do something. But I don’t know. I think it’s terrible.” -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / December 9, 2023
Aside from the pride that comes with those honors, being voted as the Defensive Player of the Year and/or being selected for one of the three All-NBA teams would make Bam Adebayo eligible to sign a four-year $245 million supermax extension this upcoming offseason. “I think he should be a lock for All-NBA this year,” Josh Richardson said. “He’s really been carrying a lot of the load for us this year.” -via Miami Herald / November 30, 2023
Anthony Chiang: Heat rules out Jamal Cain (G League), RJ Hampton (G League), Tyler Herro (ankle) and Caleb Martin (knee) for tomorrow’s game vs. Hornets. Cain has been sent to the G League to play with the Skyforce. Josh Richardson is probable with back spasms. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / November 13, 2023
