Julius Randle News
New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) is still working with pads but has progressed to "light contact." Randle is not close to returning to the floor for the Knicks as he continues to recover from a dislocated right shoulder, so fantasy managers should not be relying on the All-Star forward for the fantasy playoffs. Josh Hart is on the path to being a league-winning fantasy asset, piling up 12.9 points, 10.8 boards, 5.9 assists, 1.6 treys, and 1.1 steals in 40.6 minutes per game through his last 16 showings. Especially in points leagues due to his dodgy free-throw shooting, Hart should be treated as a top-50 option for however long Randle stays off the court.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, speaking on NBA Countdown, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) hasn't ruled out surgery. However, Wojnarowski added that while the situation is still "fluid," Randle would play through "pain and discomfort" and postpone any necessary surgery until the offseason. Of course, a surgical procedure may be required, regardless of his willingness to suit up. But the latest update at least gives fantasy managers some optimism regarding Randle's potential return to the floor at some point during the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. In the meantime, Precious Achiuwa and Bojan Bogdanovic should continue to see more work moving forward.
New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) reported he's "doing everything he can" to return to the floor this season. Unfortunately, he didn't rule out surgery. The 29-year-old has been out of the lineup for nearly a month because of a shoulder injury. Although the Knicks remain optimistic regarding a potential return, fantasy managers should acknowledge the chance he may not be back for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. Randle had averaged 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 46 games before going down, so replacing that kind of production won't be easy. However, Precious Achiuwa and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) should continue to benefit until Randle is back in the lineup.
According to SNY's Ian Begley, the Knicks remain optimistic that forward Julius Randle (shoulder) will be back at some point this season. The 29-year-old suffered a left shoulder injury during the January 27 matchup with the Miami Heat. He's making good progress in rehab. But Begley noted that the Knicks "aren't out of the woods just yet." As expected, Randle was having a quality year before going down with the injury. He averaged 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 46 regular season games. Although his production was down from last season, he remains a potent fantasy contributor. Nevertheless, fantasy managers should hang tight and hope for a positive update. However, until the 2014 No. 7 overall pick returns, Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) and Precious Achiuwa should continue to hold things down underneath the basket.
