More on this storyline

James Plowright: No Mark Williams tonight per Steve Clifford, Nick Richards gets the start. -via Twitter @British_Buzz / March 11, 2023
Rod Boone: Nick Richards has been upgraded to questionable and could be available against Oklahoma City tonight, league sources tell @theobserver. It will depend on how he feels after pregame warmups, but Richards may return after a two-game absence with a sprained right ankle. -via Twitter @rodboone / December 29, 2022
Rod Boone: Dennis Smith Jr. is questionable for tonight’s game against Golden State in San Francisco. LaMelo (right shoulder strain) is probable. Cody Martin and Nick Richards remain out. -via Twitter @rodboone / December 27, 2022
