Julius Randle News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Likely out for season Randle (quadriceps) will likely be forced to miss the remainder of the season, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Tom Thibodeau had already ruled Randle out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers and Sunday's game against Orlando, and it appears as though the 27-year-old will be unavailable for the final week of the regular season. If he's ultimately sidelined down the stretch, Obi Toppin should continue to serve as a starter while Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims see additional run off the bench. Randle had started in each of his 72 appearances this year and averaged 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 35.3 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Saturday Randle (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact A sore right quadriceps has already cost the forward three games, but he's been able to play through the issue and has appeared in each of the Knicks' last three contests. However, during that stretch, he averaged just 15.3 points on 34.9 percent shooting. Katz relays that New York has labeled Randle as day-to-day, and as of now, there are no plans to shut him down for the remainder of the season. In his absence, Obi Toppin figures to enter the starting lineup again, while Taj Gibson may garner an increased role off the bench.

Knicks stay hot, but still have a Julius Randle problem As the Knicks continue their too-little, too-late surge to end the season, the Julius Randle problem persists.

MARCH 29, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM

Grabs 13 boards in win Randle accumulated five points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 109-104 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Randle hauled in 13 rebounds during the win, salvaging what was a terrible shooting night. To put things in perspective, Randle has now shot under 30 percent from the floor in four of his past five games. Over that span, he has contributed a combined three steals and two blocks, highlighting just how empty his fantasy lines can be. While he remains a must-roster player, managers certainly have to be prepared for some wildly inconsistent shooting.

Erratic from line in return Randle (quadriceps) finished with 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 104-102 win over the Pis...

Impact Though he turned in a relatively typical performance in his return to action following a three-game absence, Randle's poor showing from the free-throw line limited the overall impact of his fantasy line. Though his counting numbers are down across the board from his career-best 2020-21 campaign, Randle's decline in his overall efficiency is perhaps the most notable reason why he's been somewhat of a disappointment for those that invested in him. He entered Sunday with a 51.1 true shooting percentage, a rate down 5.6 points from 2020-21 and also his lowest mark since 2015-16.

Starting Sunday Randle (quadriceps) will start Sunday's contest against the Pistons.

Impact Randle missed the Knicks' three previous contests due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll return to action Sunday. It's unclear if he'll be under a minutes restriction, but his presence should mean a lesser role for Obi Toppin, who had drawn three consecutive starts.

Ruled out Friday Randle (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Miami, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.

Will be game-time decision Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Randle (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Heat, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Randle has missed back-to-back contests but could return Friday. If he's available, it's possible he'll be under a minutes limit, as the Knicks are all but out of the playoff picture.

Questionable Friday Randle (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact Randle has missed the past two games but could return Friday. If he does, a minutes limit is possible, especially with the Knicks all but out of the playoff picture.
