MULTIPLE Scary Randle UPDATES – Knicks Star Out for SEASON? | Knicks News

There have been multiple scary reports on Julius Randall’s shoulder that seem to indicate there’s a very likely scenario that the Knicks do not see him return this season and that he will have to get shoulder surgery before he plays basketball again so what’s up guys welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris

Here and this is not an April Fool’s joke it seems as if there is a very very likely scenario that has been growing that Julius Randle does not return to the New York Knicks this season because of his dislocated right shoulder and there’s a good chance he’s going to have

To get surgery on it before he plays again so let’s just take a look because this comes from a bunch of different sources now first things first what we saw a few days ago was Scott Perry make some comments on Julius rand’s injury and why it worries him and he said I’m

Very concerned about Julius Randall for the playoffs Julius is a rhythm player and a ball dominant player when you have a guy who needs the ball in his hands not only does he need that time to figure out his place again on the court the guys who are playing with him now

Have to as well and that’s very telling Scott Perry knows what’s going on in the NBA he also knows the Knicks well because he was their former GM just a few years ago and actually at the time I almost just made this video completely about that comment but so much more has

Come out on the Julius Randle front first of all Scott Perry’s right when Randle comes back he is going to have to kind of reintegrate himself into the rotation and figure out like not his role we know what his role is as the second scorer but he’s got to get his

Rhythm back he’s got to get that groove back that he had and even if he comes back we’re not gonna see that guy who is just running downhill with Reckless abandon because he’s just not going to be fully healthy his inside shoulder because he drives left most of the time

Is going to be in danger of a lot of contact and that could easily pop it out of place and let’s say from what we’ve seen from this MRI that Julius probably is not going to he probably doesn’t have the most severe dislocated shoulder injury but if it pops out again you

Never know when it could tear through his labor room like what happened with John Morant earlier this season so when we look at that that’s something we have to be aware of that Julius could be in danger of a reinjury that causes way more damage to his shoulder and could

Potentially harm next season for the Knicks the Knicks have to decide if they want that or if they want to accept the fact that they’re just not going to get Julius Randle back as the guy who they had in January and in December obviously had a slow start in October but it was

Clearly his ankle was messed up it sucks that once again we have to talk about Julius Randall and his injuries and how it’s a problem but also at the same time we do know that Julius wants to play but as Ian Begley mentioned according to tibs julius’s status Remains the Same he

Has not been cleared for contact now again we know this we know that Julius probably still has a bit of time ahead of him even if he can come back and be half of what he is because he hasn’t been clear for contact all he’s done is controlled contact and that means he’s

Not ready for just the recklessness and the contact and the awkwardness that is an NBA game especially in the playoffs when it becomes more physical there’s going to be problems with Julius Randall and the New York Knicks especially if he’s not healthy it’s just not going to

Go that I can’t imagine it going that well for Julius if he’s not fully healthy with the New York Knicks and Josh Hart even spoke on this and this is really the terrifying one in my mind he said I’m not in those medical conversations or anything like that so I

Don’t know [ __ ] but we’ve got to approach every game and the end of this season that those guys aren’t coming back and if they do will be pleasantly surprised now the other name he’s talking about is OG anobi there have been reports that OG is closer to coming

Back than Julius Randall obviously OG did come back the Knicks looked absolutely great with him but he he’s just having aggravation from that outbow which happens he got his elbow sliced open to get it repaired that takes a while to heal he to get it stitched back

Up all that stuff it’s going to take a while just for that to get back into motion especially when it’s an elbow he’s an NBA player there’s not that many parts of the body that you use more than the elbow when you’re playing basketball especially if you play basketball the

Way OG does I mean mainly on offense he’s there to hit threes he’s there to make some shots mainly spotting up and then also defensively you got the arms out you’re swiping you’re using the elbow a lot so he can’t be half of himself where he’s not going to feel

Comfortable he clearly was not comfortable when he was playing after or in that three- game stint that he came back for but now once again we are without OG though I think OG will come back I think they’ll have OG for the playoffs I think having Julius Randall at this point is

Kind of wishful thinking but it’s possible the thing that isn’t possible is that we get Julius Randall back and he’s anything like we would want him to be if Julius comes back in the playoffs he’s going to be injured he’s going to play injured and he’s going to force up

A lot more jump shots because he’s dealing with injuries now not only is that going to be bad for the Knicks because he’s not going to be playing his best basketball and that’s going to harm them but also it’s going to really help that Hive of people who are just so

Anti- Julius Randall and that’s going to be really stupid and annoying and no one needs that because we know how well Julius was playing when he was healthy this season we know how good he was yeah he had a bad first five six games they got it together and was playing the best

Basketball of his season or of his career before haih hakz Jr just cut him off awkwardly caused Rand to fall and had his shoulder pop out and the fact is it’s been over two months the rehab process that physical therapy process for the shoulder there should have been

An update by now and the fact that there isn’t seems to indicate that it’s not working and he’s going to have to get it should surgically repaired and that’s a nightmare scenario for the New York Knicks because that leaves them with one shot Creator and Jaylen Brunson for the

Playoffs they’re going to double Bronson constantly even if Randle comes back at this point Bronson’s going to get doubled constantly because teams know that randle’s not going to be fully healthy and because of this if I’m being honest I don’t think the Knicks should bring Julius back this

Season I understand that it’s a hot take I understand how good the Knicks are this season but this isn’t their year no team loses their entire starting front Court and then goes on to win the NBA finals and I know hartenstein is now the starting center and all that but still

No team loses three key players to their roster one of them being your second best player one of them being your third best player one of them being your fifth best player and then you and then you win the finals or something no no we weren’t even supposed to win the finals this

Year anyway look we were pleasantly surprised by how good the Knicks were once again they’re a great team and I think they do have potential to win and get into the second round but without Julius with Brunson as the one shot Creator on this team he’s going

To face doubles like he never has before in his life the Knicks are going to need other guys to hit shots and they’re going to have to play their best defense they’ve ever played if they want to go anywhere far in the playoffs or anywhere

Out of the first round at all doing that is going to require both Mitchell Robinson and OG an anobi to be on the court I think Mitch certainly will he didn’t tweak his ankle again it’s the same injury it’s just sore he’s fine OG similar situation he’ll be fine

It’s just it sucks for right now that he’s in a ton of pain and swollen but the swelling will go down and then he’ll get back on the court and then the Knicks will have a great defensive unit and maybe they can get to the second round maybe they get lucky matchup wise

And get to the third round but without Julius Randle this team is not nearly the contender they are with him so things are going to get a little interesting and I don’t think they should hamper next season by playing Julius injured right now I just don’t think that makes any sense especially

You know what you get out of Julius Randall you know that you’re going to get a double double machine who’s putting up 25 and 10 that is what you know you are getting from Julius we need to see what else this new this new look Nicks team needs on their roster yeah

We’re going to see the playoff team without Julius like oh wow they need another score maybe even two and guess what they have one in Randall who’s pretty different from Jaylen Brunson since he’s fully attacking on the inside nowadays which is what’s made him so Elite and why he became an All-Star for

The third time in four years but outside of that the Knicks are still probably not a finals Contender they’re going to have to go out and get someone else probably but we don’t know who that is until we see how this Knicks team performs in the playoffs we don’t know

Who’s going to fit with this team it also depends on how other teams play in the playoffs which team loses early which best player on a team gets disgruntled which team do the Knicks cash these picks in for which player do the Knicks cash these picks in for

That’s the big question we’re not going to know that till the playoffs I think the Knicks can realistically contend for an NBA finals in 2025 if they make one trade and make the team just a little bit better and have a healthy Julius and Jaylen Brunson is

Just a fully healthy team I think this team can win the NBA Finals healthy they just need a little bit more Talent they’re not going to win anywh this year I don’t agree with playing Julius Randall right now and tibs kind of talked about it and basically said just

Keep doing what you’re doing dayto day you never know when it turns that’s basically the approach we have when talking about the rehab process rehab is really your game so put everything you have into it and eventually you’ll get there you can’t get discouraged just keep working at it the other guys they

Have a job to do look if I’m being honest that’s the same thing we’ve heard for two months and nothing’s changed so I I’m not really taking tibs as comments that to heart anymore because he’s not telling us anything like this entire Nicks organization does not tell us

Anything and look I understand it’s worked for a bit in the past but it is annoying as a fan to just be like all right if you’re G to shut Randall down for the year if he’s not going to come back just tell us just just tell us

Please I understand the thought process of like making teams like have to game plan and you don’t exactly want them to know but they can’t be imagining Julius is going to be some force to be reckoned with when there’s 10 games left in the season and he’s not even clear for

Contact yet and as Shams mentioned Josh Hart’s comments are very telling and it’s he’s been out since January 27th where in April he still has not done anything more than controlled contact for the Knicks it’s a wait and see approach I think we’ve done wait we’ve waited enough we’ve seen enough Randall

Season’s over cut it guys have a great day comment down below what you guys think should they just bench Randall I don’t I don’t see the point in playing him if he’s not going to be fully healthy honestly let me know I’ll catch you guys in the next one go Nick
