Nets Now Have New Concern for Richardson

Micheal Ray Richardson, who recently returned from drug rehabilitation, has raised concern among New Jersey Nets’ officials by failing to keep an appointment with a team doctor.

Richardson, whose next drug-related incident would give him a two-year suspension with no chance of appeal, called in sick for team practice Monday.

The Nets made a doctor’s appointment, but Richardson failed to show.

“We’re waiting to see what happens with Micheal Ray,” Net spokesman Jim Lampariello said.
