Julius Randle Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The former Knick missed time because of a groin injury. Fortunately, he returned for the March 2 meeting with the Suns. He played well in that one, finishing with 20 points before dropping 16 points on the Sixers on Tuesday night. With that said, Randle is a must-start for the favorable matchup versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. The former Knick missed 13 games because of a groin injury. But he was back in the lineup for Sunday's win over Phoenix, amassing 20 points and six boards in 33 minutes. With Minnesota playing back-to-back contests on Tuesday and Wednesday, it's possible Randle misses one of those contests. As a result, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 40.6% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. The 30-year-old missed the last 13 games because of a groin injury. But he'll be back in the lineup, which is great news, considering Minnesota is still without Rudy Gobert (back). It will likely take Randle a few games to return to form. Still, fantasy managers should add him back to their starting lineups. With that said, Randle's return will likely result in less work for Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Also, Naz Reid, who had 27 points in the loss to Utah on Friday, may not be as productive with Randle and Anthony Edwards (calf) on the floor.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) is expected to return on Sunday night against Phoenix. The former Knick has struggled throughout his time in Minnesota, averaging 18.9 points, his fewest since his final year with the Lakers back in 2017-18. He's also missed the last 13 games because of a groin injury. Randle will likely need at least a few games to ramp up. However, he's a must-start for fantasy managers, especially with Rudy Gobert (back) ruled out and Anthony Edwards (calf) questionable. Either way, Randle's return should still result in fewer minutes for Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) will miss a 13th consecutive game on Friday due to the groin strain he suffered in January. The Timberwolves are set to take on the Utah Jazz without either one of their starting bigs, Anthony Edwards (suspension), and possibly Donte DiVincenzo (questionable - toe). That means the team will likely go deep into their bench, but Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Terrence Shannon Jr. still see a big boost in opportunities. Both have been getting extra minutes already amid these injuries, and they clocked 35 and 29 minutes of playing time respectively on Thursday.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, Randle will remain out due to a lingering groin issue. The 30-year-old hasn't played all month and it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. The absence of Randle and Rudy Gobert (back) means more run for Naz Reid, Luka Garza, and Terrence Shannon Jr. in the rotation. However, Reid is the only player worth rostering out of the three in fantasy formats right now.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (adductor) has missed the last 10 games with an adductor injury but could be slated to return during the team's current road trip. As reported by Shams Charania of ESPN, the team is "optimistic" about getting the three-time All-Star back during their road trip, along with Donte DiVincenzo (toe). Randle has seen quite the dip in stats since joining his new team, with averages of 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 threes, and 2.8 turnovers per game. Once Randle and DiVincenzo return, Jaylen Clark, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could all see a hit in fantasy impact.

According to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, forward Julius Randle (groin) will "miss more than a few days" after suffering a right groin strain during Thursday's victory over the Jazz. The former New York Knick has struggled in his first season with the Timberwolves, averaging 18.9 points, 5.1 points fewer than he had during the 2023-24 campaign. It's not an ideal scenario for the Timberwolves, who could be without Naz Reid (finger), who did not return to Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Washington Wizards. If Reid is sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings and beyond, Minnesota will likely turn to Luka Garza and Joe Ingles to handle things at the four spot. With that said, both players can't be trusted in any fantasy lineup, at least not until they prove they can be productive.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (shoulder) is expected to make his team debut in Wednesday's preseason clash with the Bulls. This will mark his first action since January when Randle hurt his right shoulder. He will likely have restrictions for the game, but it will be interesting to see Randle in a Timberwolves uniform. Unfortunately, Randle won't get many chances to work up some chemistry between him and his teammates before the season starts because Minnesota plays its final exhibition game on Thursday, and it's hard to imagine Randle playing on back-to-back nights after missing so much time.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (shoulder) won't suit up for Sunday's preseason matchup against the New York Knicks. It would be nice to see Randle get into action against his former team, but it won't happen here. Randle is still recovering from surgery on his shoulder from January. His timetable remains unclear, but the hope is that Randle is ready to go by the beginning of the regular season. In the meantime, Naz Reid will see a boost in fantasy value. Reid is expected to come off the bench this season, but proven himself to be a viable option in that role.
