Is Nick Richards all right? That question would be going through the minds of attendees at the Footprint Center as the Phoenix Suns-Minnesota Timberwolves matchup continues to be underway. Having lost 7 of their 9 recent matchups, the last thing the Phoenix Suns would have wanted was for a key player to get sidelined due to an injury. Well, the Suns did have a close shave with that wish.
As the matchup was still in the 1st quarter, Timberwolves’ Julius Randle attempted to make a shot. He was being guarded by Nick Richards. Randle lifted near the rim but, in the process, accidentally hit the Suns player with his right hand. Richards lay on the ground, bleeding as officials gathered around him. Eventually, the injury was serious enough to cause Nick Richards to walk back to the locker room.
