Stephen A. reacts to Julius Randle’s injury: THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING | NBA Countdown

Let’s check in on some action around the association earlier we saw the Knicks and the Miami heaten action Julius Randall left this game with about 427 left in the fourth quarter what more can you tell us about his status here W Malik I’m told that Julius Randall has a

Dislocated right shoulder uh the x-rays that they took at the arena did not show much damage but there’s an MRI looming tonight for Julius Randle they’ll know much more about the extent of the injury and then a possible timeline for a return after they get the results of that MRI

So Stephen A the Knicks were up by 17 points when this injury occurred look this guy’s a Workhorse he usually doesn’t miss games I remember last year played the first 77 games before he went down the last five of the regular season he’s as tough as they

Come I hope that he is okay if he is not okay you’re going to see an entirely different Stephen A Smith on the air somebody that’s going to be incredibly depressed and mortified at the thought of the New York Knicks continuing this season without him I don’t even want to

Think about it I’d rather y’all talk and just take it from here I just don’t even want to think about and is is that didn’t we just say before he got injured that the New York Knicks have looked better than they’ve looked in years yeah this this this just can’t be happening

Yeah yeah it’s going to happen now is probably the time to have it happen you got time that’s half the season like listen he not his team is no different than anybody else’s team you don’t go through uninjured you don’t go through with seven people playing 82 games oh

Guess what nobody plays 82 games just just pipe I’m just talking about him stay calm I actually feel bad for Stephen I mean it’s the first emotion first time I’ve actually felt some empathy towards you which is which is which is which is kind of crazy by

Itself but um they’re peing and this is they’re on a they’re on a roll and to have a guy it’s going to be disruptive the hope is that like w said uh it’s nothing too bad but when you’re trying to build something like the Knicks are trying to build these type of setbacks

Can be disruptive um but you know let’s look on the bright side I don’t want to see Stephen A pouting the rest of the season so let’s get Randall back quick and let’s get you know I don’t want to see it the rest of the season yeah there

There’s more concern for Julius Randall than Stephen A right now but good MRI tonight uh in New York and then we will have a better idea to the extent of this injury let’s give Stephen A something to smile about here because the New York Knicks they did win this game and they

Looked good while doing it here’s how it went down we’re going to pick this one up in the third quarter here this is when Miami was trying to make things interesting and OG an anobi throws it down BL listen this guy we know what he could do defensively I’m seeing a nice

Mid-range game there plus he attacks the basket he can score too Jaya Brunson but not like that the Knicks get the win 125 109 so see we turned things around a little bit for you here Stephen you know W is absolutely right as usual there’s far more concerned about Julius Randle

Than me I get it I get it but I am speaking on behalf of Nick fans everywhere I mean this this you can’t make this up okay I mean it’s almost like they’re becoming basketball’s version of the Dallas Cowboys I’m just saying something Julius he’s gonna be

All right I’m just going to think positive just going to think positive 24 points a game 24 and N I’m going to think positive you know I’m not I have no skin in the game here but I need Julius Randle back now I mean I’m really

Can you keep me posted when you hear Ro on the MRI can you just text me because I got to see I’m concerned about Julius Rand but I don’t have to see Julius Randall as much as I have to see [Applause] him
