Hornets' Richards out with rib cartilage fracture
Written by I Dig Sports
An MRI revealed that Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards has a right first rib cartilage fracture, the team announced Tuesday.
Richards sustained the injury in the first half of Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He will be evaluated on "an every-other-week basis," and the Hornets said his status will be updated after the team's Nov. 17 road trip.
The loss of Richards is another blow to the Hornets, who were already without starting center Mark Williams. Williams has not played this season because of a foot injury.
Richards, a fifth-year veteran, is averaging 11.0 points and 10.0 rebounds in five games this season.
