Richardson has decided to retire from the NBA, Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Richardson inked a non-guaranteed deal with the Hawks last month due to the team's status as a contender, but after enduring some discomfort in his right knee over the past 4-to-5 days, an MRI revealed bone spurs in the knee. Considering he sat out the 2013-14 season due to injury and logged 52 games combined in the past three campaigns, yet another ailment was seemingly setting up the 34-year-old guard for another injury-plagued season, if he made the Hawks' roster at all. Known for his dunking prowess, Richardson will end his career No. 16 on the all-time three-pointers made list with 1,608, while providing 17.1 points (on 44 percent shooting), 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.9 threes, and 1.2 steals in 34 minutes per contest.

In his 13th season, Richardson contributed 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 22 minutes per game through 19 contests. It was a long road back to the basketball court for J-Rich, who missed more than two years due to a knee injury. Upon returning to the Sixers' lineup, he appeared in 19 of the team's final 29 games, earning the start in 15 of them. The 34-year-old guard struggled to regain his shooting touch, going 35 percent from the field, 32 percent from beyond the arc, and 77 percent from the charity stripe. If Richardson hopes to have his one-year, $1.5 million, non-guaranteed contract with the Hawks for 2015-16 turn into a real roster spot, he'll have to show signs that his jumper is returning to its old form. At his age, no one should be expecting J-Rich to take flight anymore, especially in fantasy. Still, his leadership could be of great value to the plethora of young wings on the team.
