Previously playing for the Flyers, it was the seventh call-up from the D-League during the 2006–07 season. After his second 10-day contract expired, the Hawks opted not to retain him.
In March 2007, he was signed to a 10-day contract by the Portland Trail Blazers. At the end of the contract, the Blazers cut him; he played in one game for them. Richardson returned to the Flyers afterwards.
