We have a very concerning update about Julius Randall and that shoulder injury for weeks now we’ve been waiting for Julius Randall to return for the New York Knicks however according to Tom thibo he hasn’t been cleared yet for full contact that update came about a week ago ever since then we’ve been

Waiting for another update about Randall and where he currently is in recovery and unfortunately for Randall in the Knicks a NBA Insider gave us an update about where he is in recovery and according to this Insider he hasn’t moved from where he was last week we’re

Going to break down this update and see what it means for Julius Randle and potentially when he can return for the New York Knicks we’re going to break down 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 this is a concerning Julius Randall injury update when I heard from Steve popper an NBA Insider that Julius Randall had not progressed further than

He did last week I was shocked I was floored Julius Randall going through that same routine that he was going through had not progressed further than he was last week that for me is an alarming update because for me it tells me that Julius randle’s shouldering

Injury is much more severe than we know about let’s break down this latest update from Steve popper and see exactly what he stated about Julius Randall and that injury a fan on the appex acts the following to Steve popper and a couple of other NBA insiders he asked them

Haven’t heard in a minute is Randall any closer and according to Steve popper he answered with the following response he is not ask Tibido before the game if Randall advanced to any real contact and he said no as most of us are aware already Julius Randall his next stage

His next step in recovery is taking contact not full contact with five on five but taking full contact with another person maybe go oneon-one then two on two then three on three four on four five on five five on five without any limitations than having the doctor

And the medical staff look at you after practice the next day see if you have any issues any obstacles any pain and then from there you get managed even more and then you get cleared and then you can return to the court that’s what Julius Randle still has to go through he

Has not gone through contact yet not full contact anyways Tom thibo has described it as controlled contact which basically means you know the move is going to come before it comes that means you prepare that shoulder for the contact it’s not the same as a regular game during a regular game you don’t

Know how that shoulders going to get hit you don’t know what context is going to be coming and that’s the type of practice he still has to go through he hasn’t gone through that practice yet and then he hasn’t gone through all of the other practices he still has to go

Through all the contact drills he still has to go through in order to be cleared by the medical staff and return for the New York Knicks he hasn’t moved to that stage yet this is concerning he is still weeks away from being healthy to return for the New York Knicks the Knicks only

Have a couple of weeks left of the regular season the reason this is concerning is because the Knicks might go into the postseason with the Knicks team that hasn’t been able to work out Julius Randall with a fully healthy roster that’s going to be concerning because they’re going to have to do it

On the Fly and doing that on the fly with Randall Jaylen Brunson and all of these new players that they have is very concerning that means they’re not going to Jael properly they’re going to be a lot of issues a lot of mistakes and they’re going to have to hide and clean

Up for Randall lot because he’s going to have to understand the schemes that they’re running the game plan that they’re running the offensive schemes the defensive schemes how they’re using ogan anobi boan bakd donovic Alec Burks and Randall when they’re all out there there are so many things to learn and

Understand that they’re going to need more than a few games in order to understand it and get it right and if they’re trying to do that on the fly in the playoffs in the postseason it could mean a disaster for the New York Knicks and their hopes and dreams this season

Because everybody knows Tom thibo knows Leon Rose knows this roster when healthy and given enough games to gain chemistry they can be a deep dangerous playoff team but they need the games in order to do that they need that repetition they need that practice time they need that

Real game experience and unless they have that it’s going to be a very difficult task for Jaylen Brunson this New York Knicks team and Tom thibo to try to get a deep playoff run going they need the chemistry don’t get it wrong star power is very important but in my

Opinion chemistry beats everything chemistry with your team and your players is what you need more than anything else to have a deep and serious and legit playoff run you can substitute that you can’t buy that you can’t go out and get that the only way you can get

That done is by putting in the work and putting in the time and time is the biggest thing going against Julius Randall and the Knicks and according to Kristen Winfield of the New York daily news he’s also an NBA Insider and he noted that Julius Randall taking this

Long to recover from this injury is not surprising and this is why he said that the very nature of Randall’s game is the reason his return may take longer than expected because the ley’s preferred weapon of choice on the basketball court is the same shoulder he compromised in

The late January victory over the Miami Heat Rand ‘s effective brand of bully ball is made possible thanks to the very shoulder he separated crashing into the ground on a drive to the rim that’s a very good point if you’ve been watching Randall his game not only over the last

Few seasons but this season specifically you’ve seen him do the exact same thing when driving into the paint he drops that shoulder then he uses it to put contact between him and the defender that creates space and allows him to utilize that space to get a shot off

Often times that shot goes in if he’s going to do the same thing with that shoulder injury every time he does that he might do more harm to himself he might do more damage to himself it might cause him pain it might cause him to hesitate he might not be able to utilize

That same weapon that he’s been using all season long the exact same way that’s going to alter his game alter his shot and alter his moves on the court when he’s out there for the New York Knicks we all know that Julius Randle style of bullyball is going down low

Driving into you with his body his shoulder taking contact and finishing at The Rim taking contact going for a fade away and finishing that shot or taking contact getting the and one and going to the line either way Randall’s bully ball style of play is wholly dependent on

That shoulder using it to create space take contact and make the bucket if he can’t use that shoulder he’s going to have to find other ways to be aggressive and effective down low and my concern is when Randall comes back if he can’t use that shoulder effectively he might have

To compromise his game by taking more jump shots taking more three-point shots and if you’ve watched Randall you know that’s not his game not the game you want him to play at a high level because if Randall is playing that game for the New York Knicks the Knicks are going to

Likely lose more games than they’re going to win if Randall is playing his traditional bully ball style of play that we’ve been seeing and we’ve grown accustomed to this season then the Knicks are going to have a very good chance to be a deep playoff team this postseason but if Randall can’t play

Like that and he’s hesitating he’s changing his game he’s altering his game he’s going to affect the Knicks in a negative way and in my opinion it’s not going to be a way that’s going to be conducive to winning basketball games and I think that’s what Julius Randall

The medical staff and the coaching staff is all thinking about right now that’s why he hasn’t been cleared yet for full contact because everybody knows if he’s hesitating right now if he has pain right now if there are concerns right now once he starts taking full contact

Those concerns are only going to grow he has to go through this step by step the concerning part for me is he’s still on the same step basically that he was on last week he has not progressed further I want to remind you guys the next step

For Julius Randall in this recovery is taking contact full contact maybe with one other person but it’s still full contact not controlled until he moves to that step he’s going to continue to be a few weeks away for this Knicks team and a few weeks away for this Knicks team

Puts the Knicks in postseason contention puts them in the playoffs puts them in the first round that’s what we have to think about right now I hope and pray that Randall can come back sooner rather than later because I’ll say it again chemistry is undefeated in this league

You need it in order to win Randall coming back with five seven games left would be a huge benefit for the New York Knicks but if he comes back and returns in the postseason the Knicks are going to have to operate on the Fly and doing that against teams that have been

Playing the same way each and every game for the entire season and doing this against teams that have not only been putting out the same roster each and every game for the regular season is going to give an edge an advantage to all of these teams the Knicks are going

Up against because they’re not going to have that same type of chemistry with the players they have on the roster they have new guys they have those same guys and then they have to incorporate all of these returning guys from injuries it’s not the same and doing that in the

Postseason is going to be very difficult for the Knicks I hope and pray they have a few regular season games underneath their belt so they can gain that chemistry together but if they don’t I’m going to be hoping and praying that they find some type of luck some type of

Magical gem inside their ranks so that way they can use it to advance to the next round because chemistry and not having it in that first round no matter who you’re facing is going to be a problem I just hope it’s a problem if the Knicks go through it they can

Overcome it but what about you guys what do you think about this concerning Julius Randall update 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 if you did go ahead
