Already on vacation since the elimination of the Knicks in the second round of the Playoffs, Julius Randle will take advantage of the offseason to treat his ankle. ESPN announced that the interior had undergone an operation. Barring any setbacks, it should be operational for the resumption of training.
Back in the good graces of New York fans thanks to a successful regular season, Julius Randle did not have the same success in the Playoffs. The 25 points and 10 rebounds per night that had allowed him to recover a new star in the All-Star Game turned into 16 points and 8 rebounds at 37% in the shoot (including 25% from afar) in the postseason. Enough to suffer a lot of criticism but it must be said that the player was not at 100% of his means either. Injured in the ankle at the end of the regular, he had relapsed once morest the Cavs in the first round, forcing him to play with gritted teeth once morest the Heat.
The Knicks being eliminated, the player can now treat his sores as he should. According to Adrian Wojnarowski ofESPN, the player underwent an arthroscopy of the left ankle. It should be fully operational for the resumption of training in September.

Except surprise during the off-season, we should therefore find Julius Randle for a fifth season in the Mecca of Basketball. Despite his persistent difficulties in the Playoffs, “Jules” remains an important player for Tom Thibodeau’s group. If some rumors have announced a possible departure to help the Knicks attract a star like Joel Embiid, this possibility seems very slim according to Ian Begley and Stefan Bondy, who follow the news from New York closely. According to the two insiders, a trade will only occur if the franchise can recover a top caliber player and it is not certain that it can find an accessible target on the market this summer. Garden fans will have to get used to it, the character strong winger out of Kentucky will continue his tenure in the Big Apple.
