Nick Richards: Breaking News

Richards (elbow) will not play in Chicago's final two games of the regular season, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. Richards will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign as he continues to recover from a right elbow sprain. Head coach Billy Donovan confirmed Friday that Richards-along with Josh Giddey, Guerschon Yabusele, Jalen Smith, and Anfernee Simons-will be held out for the final two games against the Magic and Mavericks. Richards finishes the season having missed the final 10 games. With Yabusele also ruled out, the Bulls will likely rely on Patrick Williams (thumb) and Lachlan Olbrich (foot) to handle the bulk of the minutes at center.

Richards (elbow) is out for Friday's game against the Magic. Richards will miss his ninth straight game, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return. Consider him doubtful for the season finale Sunday.

Richards (elbow) is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards. Richards will be sidelined for an eighth straight contest and remains without a timetable to return. Consider him doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando.
