Julius Randle Still Bothered By Ankle Injury
2 years agoNew York Knicks power forward Julius Randle sat out the whole fourth quarter in Sunday's meeting with Cleveland and is still playing through a left ankle injury he suffered near the end of the regular season. Randle appeared to have made a quicker-than-expected recovery from the injury when he was in the lineup for Game 1 after sitting out just five contests, but his performances have been subpar and now we know why. Randle settled for only seven points in 27 minutes Sunday, shooting 3-for-10 from the field. He is averaging 14.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in the series with 32.2 percent shooting and has made only eight of his 31 three-point attempts. The Knicks will be hoping that some extra rest will do good for Randle, with the next game in the series scheduled for Wednesday.
