The Jazz are waiving Richardson (heel) on Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Richardson was traded from Miami to Detroit before being re-routed to Utah ahead of the NBA trade deadline. However, the veteran guard will now become a free agent and could join a new team to add quality perimeter defense and a second playmaker.

Josh Richardson: Breaking News
Traded to Utah
Richardson (heel) will be rerouted to the Jazz as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer. Richardson was initially sent from Miami to Detroit, only to be dealt to Utah less than 24 hours later. Richardson, who is still sidelined by a troublesome heel issue, is unlikely to be in Utah's long-term plans as they are in the early stages of a rebuild.
Traded to Detroit
Richardson (heel) was traded to the Pistons on Wednesday as part of the massive blockbuster trade involving Jimmy Butler landing with the Warriors, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Richardson was part of the deal that also sent Lindy Waters from Golden State to Detroit. Even though Richardson might make an impact once healthy, the 31-year-old guard has missed 35 straight games with right heel inflammation, and it's unclear when he'll return to the floor for his new team in Detroit.
