Suns' Nick Richards: Coming off bench Sunday
Richards will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Hawks, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Richards will come off the bench due to Mark Williams (rest) returning to the lineup. In his last five games in a reserve role, Richards is averaging 3.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in just 9.4 minutes per contest.

Suns' Nick Richards: Starting Thursday
Richards is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Mark Williams (rest) is taking the night off, so Richards will draw his first start of the season and will be joined by Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks and Royce O'Neale in the first unit. Richards is capable of racking up the boards and blocks when given the minutes, so he could be someone to consider streaming Thursday with just three games on the slate.

Suns' Nick Richards: Could see increased role Thursday
Richards contributed six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 victory over Dallas.
With Mark Williams (ankle/rest) out against the Pacers on Thursday, Richards should see an expanded role in the frontcourt. He could be the starting center, though a potential timeshare with Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach will limit Richards' upside.

Suns' Nick Richards: Scoreless in 12 minutes
Richards accumulated zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Richards has appeared in all five games for the Suns, but he continues to see scraps off the bench with an average of 10.0 minutes per contest. Mark Williams seems to have found his stride, and the Suns are going to try and find minutes for rookie Khaman Maluach whenever possible. Richards' fantasy appeal is quite limited for the time being.

Suns' Nick Richards: Suiting up for season opener
Richards (rest) is available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
After resting for Phoenix's preseason finale, Richards will be back in uniform Wednesday. The big man is lined up for a timeshare alongside Khaman Maluach as the backup center behind Mark Williams, meaning Richards has minimal fantasy upside to open the new campaign.

Suns' Nick Richards: Won't play Tuesday
Richards (rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Richards will sit out the team's preseason finale due to rest purposes. The 27-year-old center's next opportunity to play will come in Phoenix's regular-season opener against the Kings on Oct. 22.

Suns' Nick Richards: Logs 12 minutes in preseason debut
Richards finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 FT), three boards, one assist, one steal and two turnovers across 19 minutes during Friday's 103-81 win over the Lakers.
Richards served as Oso Ighodaro's backup in Phoenix's preseason opener, but it'll be tough for him to find meaningful minutes when Mark Williams (rest) is active. He's not a guy we'd recommend drafting in most settings.

Suns' Nick Richards: Ruled out for Sunday
Richards (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Richards will end the season on the sidelines and will miss a third straight contest Sunday. The big man was the starting center for the Suns ever since he was acquired from the Hornets midway through the campaign. In 36 appearances (34 starts) with the Suns, Richards averaged 9.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. Oso Ighodaro and Mason Plumlee will likely shoulder the workload at center in Sunday's matchup against the Kings.

Suns' Nick Richards: Will start vs. New York
Richards will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
After coming off the bench in Friday's loss to the Celtics, Richards will return to the starting lineup for Phoenix on Sunday in New York. In 41 games as a starter this season, the Kentucky product has averaged 10.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.

Suns' Nick Richards: Will come off bench Friday
Richards won't start Friday's game against the Celtics.
In the midst of a four-game losing streak, the Suns are opting to start Oso Ighodaro at center, sending Richards to the bench for the first time since Jan. 18. As a reserve this season (13 games), Richards has averaged 8.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 17.2 minutes per game.

Suns' Nick Richards: Posts double-double
Richards closed with 13 points (4-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 loss to the Bucks.
Richards was an efficient two-way presence for the Suns and posted his second double-double across his last five starts. He's not expected to be among the go-to options on offense in a roster that features other high-scoring alternatives, but Richards has a solid floor as the starter at center for the Suns. He's averaging 10.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game in 19 starts since the All-Star break.
