New York Knicks’ Julius Randle to Undergo Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
New York Knicks fans received devastating news as star forward Julius Randle will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, ending his hopes of returning for the playoffs. Randle had been rehabilitating his shoulder injury in hopes of making a postseason comeback, but ultimately decided that surgery was necessary for his long-term health.
Despite the setback, Randle is expected to make a full recovery and return for the start of the 2024-25 season. The loss of Randle is a significant blow to the Knicks, as they have found success when he and OG Anunoby were in the lineup together. Randle’s absence could impact the team’s playoff chances, but his return next season could make them a strong contender in the Eastern Conference.
Before his injury, Randle was having a standout season, averaging 24 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. The 29-year-old had been a key player for the Knicks, earning his third All-Star selection this season. Randle had previously undergone surgery on his ankle in the summer of 2023 and had been playing through injuries before his shoulder dislocation against the Miami Heat.
The Knicks will now have to adjust their lineup and game plan without Randle on the court, but fans can look forward to his return next season. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for updates on Randle’s recovery and the Knicks’ playoff run without their star forward.
