MAJOR Julius Randle Update! Preparing For RETURN… | Knicks News
A few weeks ago Julius Randle suffered a dislocated shoulder and MRIs at the time thankfully revealed that he was not going to need surgery however we’ve seen him at the end of the New York Knicks bench over the last few games no sling nothing on his arm looks happy and looks
Ready to come back for the New York Knicks so that begs the question where is Julius Randle right now at his recovery and what’s his timeline well thankfully head coach of the New York Knicks Tom thibo recently spoke to NBA Insider Steph Bondi of the New York Post
And gave us an update on Randall and his recovery timeline we’re going to break down all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t
Miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started Julius Randall is progressing well and Tom helps explain his return process and honestly that’s the main question that most of us has had ever since Randall has gone down when can he return to the court and how is he
Progressing well thankfully Steph Bondi an NBA Insider with the New York Post recently sat down with Tom thibo and he got these answers to this exact question according to Bondi Julius Randall is chomping at the bit to get back to the New York Knicks coach Tom tiido said he
Met with the power forward who is recovering from a dislocated shoulder and they mapped out a plan for Allstar break with a clear positive vibe about the progress tiido stated the following he was in my office the day before we left for Houston we had a great visit
Went through some stuff we are already processing what the next things are he’s doing very well overall and the thing that’s unfortunate he was playing at such a high level when he took on the injury and I said it at the time the one great thing about him he’s in great
Shape so I think that makes it not easier it’s never easy to come back but because of the fact that he’s in great shape I think coming back happens faster because of that Tibido continues by stating it’s going to be constant evaluation randle’s doing well progressing meeting all the Milestones
So when he’s ready to go he’s ready to go but that’s another benefit of the break coming Julius doesn’t sit with soreness if he can play he’s going to play Shout out to Steph Bondi for sitting down with Tom Tio and asking him these questions about Julius Randall and
His road to recovery and honestly that makes me very happy he is hitting all the Milestones he is progressing well and if you remember early on surgery was not ruled out it was just off the table at the time but they were potentially going to revisit that option at some
Point maybe when he was going to get re-evaluated but it seemed seems right now he’s avoided surgery for this season because he’s progressing well he’s looking like he wants to come back again if you’re looking at him on the bench he’s not wearing anything on his arm
He’s not even walking bad he’s walking normal that signals to me that he’s ready to go he’s rehabbing well and the training is going successfully because if it wasn’t an NBA Insider somewhere would have reported that his recovery was not going well was not going as
Planned and likely sergy was going to be required but that’s not what we’re hearing right now thankfully his road to recovery is going very well he is chomping at the bit to return for the New York Knicks he wants to get back he wants to help this New York Knicks team
And he wants to continue his Sensational season that he’s been having with the New York Knicks because let’s get this right the Knicks have two allars this year Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randall and kudos to the NBA for still giving him that All-Star bid they could have
Just as easily said out of sight out of mind and not have recognized the All-Star play that he’s been doing with the New York Knicks but they didn’t do that they gave him the All-Star bid he’s now a three-time All-Star with the New York Knicks joining Jaylen Brunson this
Year for having an All-Star Duo the first time that’s happened since Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler that is saying something one of the main takeaways from this report is Tom thibo stating that Julius Randall is beating all the Milestones that is very important into the road to recovery and
When he gets reevaluated in 3 weeks if he’s hitting all of his Milestones it’s likely he’s going to be cleared for on court activities that means it’s only a matter of time before he returns for the New York Knicks and helps us win more games but that begs the question how
Early could he return Randall is likely going to be reevaluated right after Allstar break and if that goes well and then he can start going to on court activ activities then it’s all development at that point in time practicing by yourself and then once that’s going well basketball activities
Shooting taking contact oneon-one two on two three on three four on four and then finally full court practice full practice and then once all of that is cleared he’ll finally return I would think that him and ogan anobi might return around the same time I’m thinking
Mid-march to late March now you might be thinking to yourself the New York Knicks have to survive without OG and Randall till around March yeah that’s the case now listen Anything could happen maybe some of them return earlier rather than later but honestly speaking I would
Rather both of them take their time get fully healthy and come back 100% And once that happens watch out because this Knicks team is going to be dangerous but I do not want them rushing back rushing their recovery time because they think they have to save this Knicks team in my
Opinion this Knicks team has enough Talent on it right now to float and try to win each and every game in front of them we also have a break coming up with the All-Star break coming so thankfully we’re going to get rest and hopefully get some more players back really the
Biggest issue for the New York Knicks right now is our front Court depth we are down Mitchell Robinson Julius Randall is not there Isaiah hartenstein was out Jericho Sims was out for a few games all we really had was press zoua and Taj Gibson that is not going to win
You games in the NBA you need more depth at the center and power forward position thankfully as we get more healthy we will get more depth over there so hopefully as those guys return Julius Randall Isaiah hartenstein Mitchell Robinson will have a lot more depth and
We won’t be able to have any excuses when it comes to going out there and beating teams and dominating them once fully healthy we are absolutely going to be running through the league but until then we have to make sure it’s next man up mentality everybody’s buying in and
Everybody is stepping up to help us try to win games because right now that’s all we can ask for if we don’t do that we’re going to lose more than we win but if everybody locks in we’ll give ourselves the best chance each and every night to win more games and the main
Reason for that is because we have a star knocking on the the door of superstardom and jayen Brunson on the roster and every single night when he goes out there he always tries to will this Knicks team to Victory and honestly how could you not love and respect that
But what about you guys what do you think about this major update about Julius Randall and his road to recovery let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and

Stop it with the break-down.
Fast recovery Julius we miss u and need u
Hope those fans they have bashed him the last 2 years finally realize how great he is but haters will be haters
Juelz is gunna abuse on the court when he gets back. Get well soon Big bro the gang miss yu G. 🔶️🔷️🫢 great content always
It is a good thing that he is coming back
Randle not healthy separated shoulder will not heal completely without surgery. Quick movements will cause the joint to dislocate again. Knicks fan
Now we including myself will understand how important this man is to the New York Knicks. 💙 🧡
I been telling y'all. I believe in Randle. Dont rush back son. We will need you later this year
I hope Thibs will go easy on him
I’m guilty of shitting on this man get well soon dog. My bad for doubting you😂
Let’s go New York Knicks
We definitely need him but I wouldn't rush him too fast if it has a chance to make injury worse. We need both OG and Randle for playoffs. With 76ers losing Embiid, Magic and Pacers behind the Knicks, I am not too worried about them jumping the Knicks in the standings if the Knicks don't have him for a couple more weeks. I am assuming iHart comes back. The Knicks have good depth. They aren't replacing Randle or OG but they are pretty solid players.
The biggest issue for the Knicks is Tom Thibodeau!! We would be alright with this team with a different coach, but with him… SMH!! We better hope that we don't drop to 5th or 6th seed because that means DOOM for our season!!
I believe that the Knicks are keeping things quiet. But I believe that Julius and OG will be back right after Allstar break…. I believe that they will be ready to go before the month of February is over. Mitchell Robinson will be back the first week of March. I believe that will go down just like that
Thank God Father the one You love is recovering ❤❤❤❤❤
You are 100% right, do not rush back, because that can not only be devastating to the team, but to the player in the long run. Heal, and when ready, return.
Now, if all are back, healthy and playable, we should have a helluva team. Mitch, Randle, Hartenstein, Donte, Jalen, Hart, OG, Burks, Bojan, Miles, Achawa, Jacob, and Sims. Thibs should play both Mitch and Sims together, and Hartenstein and Achawa together and see what that looks like. All rebounds should be ours, offensive and defensive.
🔥🔥Faxts🔥🔥
Stop yelling at me
I think we all realize that Julius makes a big difference, especially on offense
Just come back for the playoffs we are in 4th place we good right now
See Troy recap it's all for the players health but we have tom thibs he must stop running players in the ground he must play all of his bench not some
