Josh Richardson hasn't played much at all with the Heat, so Miami is finding a way to get him some burn.

Richardson has gotten into 13 games this year, starting one fo the, but he hasn't played or produced all too much once seeing the court, hitting only 31 percent of his field-goal attempts. He was a the 40th-overall pick in this past June's NBA draft. This will be his first term in the D-League.

Te Miami Heat are doubling down with their D-League affiliate, with rookie guard Josh Richardson assigned to the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Richardson, the second-round pick out of Tennessee who is on a guaranteed contract, did not return with the Heat from Tuesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, instead traveling commercially to Ontario to join the Skyforce for Thursday's game there against the Toronto Raptors' D-League affiliate.
