Richardson posted 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting, including 3-for-3 from deep, in 24 minutes off the bench, with all 13 coming in the third to spark Orlando's rally.

His speed, reads and high basketball IQ drew praise from Jamahl Mosley and hint at an early-season role if Jalen Suggs is limited; in a depth-driven preseason, Richardson's growth could yield practical fantasy upside.

Preseason in Abu Dhabi kicks off a season shaped by 10 names set to define it: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paolo Banchero, De'Aaron Fox, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Amen Thompson, Desmond Bane, A.J. Dybantsa, Mike Brown, Adam Silver.

Milwaukee upgrades keep Giannis in play; Orlando pivots to a win-now arc; Memphis adds Bane's shooting; San Antonio pairs Fox with Wembanyama and Harper; LeBron, Kawhi and Silver frame the league's balance and expansion intel. Injuries to Haliburton and Tatum widen the East's path as Wembanyama's era opens in San Antonio with Castle and Harper looming—the fantasy season will hinge on fit, health and late moves.
