Jason Richardson underwent a knee draining procedure before the Philadelphia 76ers’ Friday overtime win over the Toronto Raptors.

Richardson was in the starting lineup against Toronto.

"It felt good after getting all that out there, getting the swelling down," Richardson said.

Doug Collins left the decision up to Richardson to play.

"If he feels he can go, I don't want him to feel like we don't want him out there to play," Collins said. "I learned a long time ago from Michael Jordan, when guys want to play and you hold them out, eventually they won't want to play."
