Philadelphia’s vaunted starting five had played together in less than half of Philadelphia’s games due to injuries entering Wednesday night. Josh Richardson’s hamstring prevented their reunion from enduring more than a few moments.
The veteran swingman was forced to leave after playing just 17 minutes against Sacramento due to a strained hamstring. Richardson, acquired as part of a deal that sent Jimmy Butler to Miami last offseason, finished with nine points and three assists.
