The big tile for the Knicks. Injured in the ankle the day before yesterday against the Heat, Julius Randle will therefore be absent for at least two weeks. In two weeks the Playoffs start for New York, so we will have to… grit our teeth.
The timing is pretty disastrous but what do you want, life is life as Gad Elmaleh said in a very bad sketch.
In great shape this season with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and… zero missed games so far, the All-Star Julius Randle will therefore miss the end of the regular season and now hope to be restored for the start of the Playoffs, scheduled for Saturday April 15. Two weeks to recover and that’s “good” since two weeks is also the period of time announced to be able to reassess the ankle of the J.
Julius Randle will be reevaluated in two weeks following his ankle injury… bad timing for the Knicks.

As of March 31, the Knicks are fifth and are likely to stay there. 2.5 wins ahead of the sixth-placed Nets and 4 behind the fifth-placed Cavs, Cavs that New York… has every chance of meeting in the first round. Spoiler, playing Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and overall one of the top three defenses in the entire NBA without your top scorer is complicatedwhich therefore makes the healing process even more important, more critical for NYC.
The Knicks will face the… Cavs tonight, well, then the Pelicans, the Wizards and the Pacers twice before the end of regular play on April 9. Rather quiet schedule which should allow Tom Thibodeau’s men to keep their place warm, but now all eyes are on JVLIVS and the New York medical staff…
