Sixers rule out Josh Richardson for Lakers tilt

Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson, who suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday's 136-130 loss to the LA Clippers, is out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sixers announced.

Richardson continues to progress through the NBA's concussion protocol, the team said.

Richardson, in his first season with the 76ers after being acquired in a sign-and-trade deal with the Miami Heat for Jimmy Butler, is averaging 13.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 12.28 minutes per game this season.

The Sixers are already without guard Ben Simmons and center Joel Embiid.
