LOS ANGELES -- Already playing without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, the Philadelphia 76ers ruled Josh Richardson out with a nose contusion for the second half of Sunday's game against the LA Clippers.

Richardson suffered the injury after teammate Alec Burks backed into Richardson and the back of his head collided with Richardson's face. With 11:17 remaining in the second quarter, Richardson remained seated on the floor as his teammates stood around him to check to see if he was OK.

Richardson left the game with nine points and was ruled out for the remainder of the game at halftime. The Sixers are already missing Embiid to a left shoulder sprain and Simmons to a back injury.
