Jason Richardson, the hip-grandpa of the Philadelphia 76ers, will miss the entire upcoming season after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot. Richardson also missed all of last year. The injury, combined with Richardson’s age, may spell the end to a 13-year NBA career in which Richardson averaged 17.3 points per game and won two dunk contests. That also means, as the roster sits now, the 76ers are left with only three players born before 1990, and only one born before 1988. It’s the time of the season to feel old.
