New York Knicks’ All-Star Julius Randle’s injury status for Game 2 remains uncertain after he missed their Game 1 of the second-round series against Miami Heat on Sunday due to an ankle sprain (The Athletic). Randle, who is dealing with an aggravated sprained left ankle, is expected to be ruled out for Game 1, according to CBS Sports.
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau had shared his hopes that Randle would be able to play in Game 1 (Bleacher Report). However, Randle missed the game, and the Knicks ultimately fell to the Heat in the opener of their second-round series (New York Post).
The Eastern Conference semifinals took place at Madison Square Garden, and Randle’s absence was felt during the game (Sun Sentinel). Just 30 minutes before the tip-off, the Knicks announced that Randle would not be playing due to his injury (amNewYork).
With Julius Randle’s Game 2 status still unclear, fans await updates on the star’s condition to see if he will be able to join the Knicks on the court in their upcoming matches against the Miami Heat.
