Micheal Ray Richardson Released by Knights
Former NBA player Micheal Ray Richardson has been unconditionally released by the U.S. Basketball League’s Long Island Knights, the team announced Sunday night.
Richardson, banned from the NBA in December 1986, for drug use, averaged 26.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 15 games for the Knights.
“The problem with Micheal was that he insisted upon taking too many shots each game and it seemed like he was unaware of the team concept which we endorse,” Knight President Stan Goldman said in a statement.
