Jason Richardson (knee) said on Wednesday that he is targeting a March return.

He is targeting a return in the second half of March and has been prescribed an hour per day of shooting jumpers. Richardson has not played all season after knee surgery last year and he's still not worth stashing in almost any format.

Jason Richardson (knee) said on Wednesday he will definitely play this season.

He will start running in a week or so and doesn't have a timetable to return. Richardson's knee surgery has kept him out all year and he will likely be eased into minutes upon his return. He's not worth stashing in almost any format.

Jason Richardson (knee) remains a month away from beginning a running program.

There is no timetable for his return and fantasy owners should continue to avoid him, as the 32-year-old is being very cautious to avoid any setbacks. He has a $6.6 million player option for next season which he's very likely to exercise

Jason Richardson (knee) has been doing some strength workouts with the training staff.

He was doing mostly swimming last month and looks to be progressing in his rehab. Richardson still has no timetable for a return and is not worth stashing in most leagues. James Anderson, Tony Wroten Hollis Thompson will continue to get most of the minutes at shooting guard.

Jason Richardson (knee) hasn't started running, but is targeting an early-January return.

This moves up a previous return timetable of "January-February", but this should be taken with a grain of salt as players wanting to return early is about as certain as the sun rising in the East every day. James Anderson and Tony Wroten will continue to fill-in for Richardson, but both are better left on waiver wires unless Michael Carter-Williams or Evan Turner get hurt.

Jason Richardson (knee) said he has been doing a lot of swimming and is targeting a return around the All-Star break.

He is not even close to returning and there were rumors that he could be out for the year. The Sixers have been using a mixture of Tony Wroten and James Anderson at shootin guard, but neither are quite worth owning in standard leagues right now.

Jason Richardson did not travel with the Sixers for their preseason opener in Spain.

Little surprise here. Richardson is laid up following left knee surgery and does not expect to return until January or early February.

Jason Richardson, who is coming off left knee surgery, is hoping to return in January, or early February.

The Sixers should be out of the playoff race by then and it's hard to imagine J-Rich doing much this season. Ignore him until further notice.

76ers writer Bob Cooney reports that Jason Richardson (left knee surgery) "is most likely out for the season."

J-Rich was originally expected out until Feb-March but a report in early August (also from Cooney) suggested that he "may not step foot on the court." The steady decline in his season outlook may reflect medical updates we're not privy to, or it may simply be a recognition that the Sixers have no incentive to play an injured veteran on a young, rebuilding team. Either way, J-Rich shouldn't be owned in any fantasy leagues.

Jason Richardson may not even set foot on the court this season.

It's been a while since we've discussed him and there is some concern that the 2007-08 3-point champ could miss significant time while he recovers from Denovo surgery on his left knee. Richardson had the surgery back in February and is targeting a return in February 2014. He won't be worth drafting in any league and the Sixers have some of the worst depth in the backcourt in the NBA. Someone will emerge and see minutes, so the Sixers are going to have to get creative. Thaddeus Young could slide to small forward more, which could open things up for Arnett Moultrie, but there are several solutions to this problem.

Jason Richardson's knee surgery was called "Denovo surgery."

Denovo surgery is where the doctors take juvenile cartilage and implant it back into the damaged knees where there is a cartilage issue present. This was an alternative to micro-fracture surgery, which most fantasy basketball owners are all too familiar with at this point. Even without setbacks, Richardson won't be able to resume normal basketball activity until "late January-early February."

Jason Richardson underwent left knee surgery Tuesday.

As previously announced, Richardson will miss the rest of this season and is not expected to be ready for the start of next season. The two players the Sixers acquired in the Andre Iguodala trade -- Richardson and Andrew Bynum -- have combined to play in 33 of a possible 102 games this season.

Jason Richardson will have knee surgery on Thursday, with an expected rehabilitation of 9-12 months.

J-Rich will be on crutches for six weeks after the surgery and it's anyone's guess how much he'll contribute next season. He is under contract for $6.2 million in 2013-14, with a $6.6 million player option the following year.

Jason Richardson confirmed that he'll have to get knee surgery and is out for the season.

Richardson will be out for 9-12 months following surgery meaning that he will not be ready for the start of the 2013-14 season. As a veteran with a history of knee injuries, he'll have to prove he's healthy at every step of his rehab and faces a long road to return.

Jason Richardson, who plans to get a fourth opinion on his knee, is likely to get season-ending surgery.

As we said previously, if three opinions all say surgery for Richardson, it's unlikely a fourth will change that outlook. We don't expect to see him again this year, locking Nick Young into a prominent role. Dorell Wright will also receive a boost with J-Rich sidelined.

Updating a previous iterm, the Sixers announced that Jason Richardson will get a fourth opinion on his left knee before deciding on surgery.

If three medical professionals suggest he gets surgery on an issue that's been bothering him for most of the season, chances are the fourth one will have a similar plan for treatment. Richardson should be cut across the board and Nick Young is worth a look in most leagues.

Jason Richardson will have left knee surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

The recovery time is expected to take 6-9 months, which means he should be ready for the start of next season. Richardson has been battling knee issues for most of the season and he received three medical opinions on the proper treatment. Nick Young has done enough to be owned in some standard leagues while Dorell Wright could climb his way out of Doug Collins' doghouse and gain value.

Jason Richardson was in New York to get a third opinion on his ailing knee Wednesday.

Doug Collins said Monday that Richardson "will be out for a while," which solidifies Nick Young's role int he starting five. Since taking over J-Rich's spot, Swaggy P is averaging 16.7 points and 2.3 3-pointers per game. Whenever Richardson is finally able to return, it's entirely possible Young will retain the starting gig.

Jason Richardson (knee) is seeking a third opinion on his ailing knee, and coach Doug Collins said that J-Rich "will be out for a while."

This solidifies Nick Young's role in the starting five, where he's averaging 16.7 points and 2.3 triples per game. He may not relinquish the starting job even when J-Rich is healthy, so make sure he's not still floating on your waiver wire.

Updating a previous item, Jason Richardson (knee) is not expected to play against the Sixers on Monday.

The Swaggy P experiment continues. Since Nick Young took over the starting shooting guard spot, he's averaging 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 3-pointers in 36 minutes per game. With Richardson expected to be out again, owners can expect Young to help in points and triples as he usually does.
