Fantasy Outlook

The Hornets dealt Richards to the Suns during the 2024-25 campaign. He started 34 of his 36 regular-season appearances for Phoenix and submitted solid production in the typical big-man categories (rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage). He'll face stiff competition for minutes in 2025-26. The Suns drafted Khaman Maluach with the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and that same night, they pulled off a trade for Richards' former teammate, Mark Williams. Williams will likely start over Richards again, and Maluach's development may be more important to Phoenix than getting Richards consistent minutes. If he's not playing 20-plus minutes a night, it'll be nearly impossible for Richards to provide top-200 fantasy value. However, he's a name worth monitoring on the waiver wire, especially if Williams or Maluach is unavailable for an extended period. Richards should also get a boost in rankings for two-center leagues, but even in that case, he should be your fourth or fifth center.
