Shut down for rest of season The Knicks announced Thursday that Randle will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. Despite spending the last two months rehabbing, the 29-year-old forward will ultimately be shut down for the remainder of 2023-24. Randle will end the season averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across 46 appearances. Josh Hart, Bojan Bogdanovic and Precious Achiuwa should continue to receive increased playing time in the Knicks' forward rotation with OG Anunoby (elbow) also out.

Not yet taking contact Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that Randle is still waiting to take contact and is "trying to strengthen the shoulder area," Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports....
Impact Updates on Randle have often been vague and infrequent since he sustained a dislocated right shoulder in the Knicks' Jan. 27 win over the Heat. Though he was able to avoid surgery on the injury, the veteran power forward doesn't seem to have significant progress in the ensuing two months. For about the past three weeks, Randle has been limited to taking light contact with pads on the court, so he still looks to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this stage of his recovery. The Knicks remain hopeful to get Randle back for the playoffs if not the end of the regular season, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues likely can't justify holding him while his return timeline remains uncertain.

Still practicing limited contact Randle (shoulder) continues ramping up in "controlled contact situations" but has not progressed to any scrimmaging, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Randle's timeline for returning from a dislocated shoulder is difficult to evaluate given the re-injury risk of destabilized shoulders and the muscle re-strengthening needed. Coach Tom Thibodeau did not disclose an estimation for ascending to 5-on-5 action, so Randle remains week-to-week at this time.

Impact Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a right dislocated shoulder. While the 29-year-old forward seems to have avoided the need for surgery, Randle's return to action isn't imminent.

Impact The Knicks announced at the beginning of February that Randle would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder. Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to the injury and isn't practicing yet, so he can be considered week-to-week moving forward. OG Anunoby (elbow) also remains out, so Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart should continue to see elevated roles, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Bojan Bogdanovic's (calf) playing time increase over the next week as he gets acclimated to his new squad.

Impact Randle suffered a dislocated right shoulder Saturday against the Heat, and the Knicks are optimistic that his absence will be measured in weeks rather than months.

Josh Hart has seen plenty of run over the past two matchups, averaging 9.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 41.0 minutes per game.
