Josh Richardson (knee) has been cleared by the team’s doctors and he will make his season debut on Friday against the Raptors, according to Shams of The Vertical.

This is great news for the owners who have been stashing away Richardson on their roster. He may be limited for his first couple of games, but it’s fully expected that the guard should over take Dion Waiters as the team’s starter. If for some reason Richardson is still on the wire, stop what you’re doing and go pick him up.

Sources: Miami's Josh Richardson has been cleared by team doctors to make season debut tonight in Toronto after MCL tear in September.
