His team, Casademont Zaragoza<\/a>, has announced<\/a> that they are parting ways with the 10-year NBA veteran guard.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Richardson joined the club after a period of inactivity due to injury. Richardson and the club agreed to a 10-day trial period, which was later extended by mutual agreement. Once the trial period came to an end, both parties agreed to terminate the contractual relationship.<\/p>\n

Richardson averaged 6.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1 assist in three appearances in the Spanish league.<\/p>\n

He also appeared in two FIBA Europe Cup games, where he averaged 14 points and 3.5 rebounds.<\/p>\n

After being drafted by the Miami Heat in the second round of the 2015 NBA Draft, the 32-year-old spent 10 seasons playing in the NBA, appearing for six different teams, including the Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and New Orleans Pelicans.<\/p>\n

He has appeared in more than 550 games, averaging 11.5 points, 3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and over 28 minutes per game during his ten NBA seasons.<\/p>\n

Last season, he appeared in eight games for the Miami Heat, playing around 18 minutes per game and averaging 4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.<\/p>\n
