Knicks Expect Julius Randle To Miss Multiple Weeks
3 months agoAs testing continues on New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder), indications are optimistic that his absence will be measured in weeks and not months. Randle was doubled over after dislocating his right shoulder on an awkward fall late in Saturday's win over the Miami Heat, heading straight to the locker room in visible pain. While the 29-year-old All-Star's multi-week absence is a big blow to one of the hottest teams in basketball — the Knicks are 12-2 since the calendar flipped to 2024 — New York has to be relieved that it's not a worst-case scenario. Fellow All-Star Jalen Brunson will lead the offense in the Big Apple for however long his running mate is down. Josh Hart should be added in most fantasy leagues as the most likely candidate to replace Randle in the starting lineup until the All-Star Break or so, and Precious Achiuwa as well as Quentin Grimes should see more minutes off the bench.
