He contributed well across the stat-sheet, tying a team-high with seven assists while posting his third straight game with at least six rebounds. Richardson continues to be a reliable three-point option for the Ducks, connecting on 41 percent of his long-range attempts this season.

Richardson has been used in a smaller role from earlier in the year, as the three-point specialist is shooting 28 percent from deep this season.

Held to four points against Arizona Richardson posted four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-0 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 63-61 victory over Arizona.

Impact Richardson was held in check during the narrow win, failing to get to the line for the first time this season en route to a season-low four points. He was able to tie a team-high with four assists. After missing the first 12 games of the season with a thumb injury, Richardson has started all four games since and has relegated Amauri Hardy to the bench.

Starting Thursday Richardson (thumb) is among the starting five versus Washington State on Thursday, Matt Prehmof 247Sports reports.

Impact Richardson will take the court for the first time all season, as to this point he'd been sidelined with a thumb injury. The junior's return could provide Oregon's offense with a significant boost, given that he averaged 11.0 points per game in 2019.

Takes part in Wednesday practice Richardson (thumb) was back at practice Wednesday and working on his shooting, Chris Hansen of the Oregon Register-Guard reports.

Impact Coach Dana Altman was unable to provide a concrete return date for Richardson's return when asked about the matter Tuesday, so whether or not he participates in Thursday's matchup against Washington State likely depends largely on how that Wednesday practice went. The junior has yet to participate in a game this season, but could represent a major boost for an Oregon team with tournament aspirations. He averaged 11.0 ppg across 31 games (13 starts) last season -- a mark that was boosted to 14.0 ppg over the final 11 games.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

No timetable for return Richardson (thumb) does not have a timetable to return, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The junior is still rehabbing his thumb injury and coach Dana Altman could not provide a target date for Richardson's return. Amauri Hardy has been playing the bulk of the minutes at point guard in Richardson's absence and that trend should continue as long as Richardson is sidelined.

On track to return in Jan. Richardson (thumb) is on track to return during the second week of January, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Richardson has been out for an extended period of time after undergoing thumb surgery in early December, but he is reportedly on track to return in mid-January. Once the junior returns, the Ducks will get an immediate boost to their point-guard depth and experience, something the team is currently lacking at the moment behind Amauri Hardy. Hardy will presumably continue to start in Richardson's absence.
