Julius Randle - Will not debut Friday Randle (shoulder) will be held out of Friday's preseason opener versus the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Impact One week to the night of being dealt from New York to Minnesota, Randle is not ready to make his debut against the team that drafted him. This is unsurprising, as the big man was expected to be limited during the preseason as he recovers from a shoulder injury. When healthy, he is expected to start alongside Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. In his absence Friday, Naz Reid is the likely candidate to start.
