Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Josh Richardson was diagnosed with a concussion sustained during Sunday's 136-130 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The 76ers said Richardson was in the NBA's concussion protocol after initially terming the injury a nose contusion.

The 26-year-old was injured when team-mate Alec Burks backed into him with his head smacking into Richardson's face during the opening minute of the second quarter.
