Knicks Injury Update: With trade rumours brewing before the NBA season, Julius Randle speaks up about his concerns over his shoulder

The New York Knicks are ready to claim the throne that they missed in their championship run last year because of injury woes. Even their star power forward, Julius Randle, could not help them in the playoffs due to shoulder dislocation. Despite his spending two months in rehab, the Knicks could not enter the postseason with their best player. Yet they made it to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals with the help of their star point guard, Jalen Brunson. However, with the Larry O’Brien trophy as a goal, Randle must get healthy as soon as possible. Also, since the team has not signed a long-term extension with the 29-year-old, trade rumors are already all over the NBA community.

However, the 3x All-Star has assured the Knicks fans that he isn’t leaving anytime soon, as he recently updated about his presence in New York’s training camp. “Good and we’ll see, “ Randle commented on his shoulder condition and chances of him training with Knicks peers, as per sources. After Jalen Brunson has taken a big hit in the salary by signing a four-year, $156.5 million with the Knicks. Julius Randle is also expected to be taking such a hit for maintaining New York’s star cast under one umbrella. Apparently, the Knicks are already above the first apron by about $3.2 million. So they already can’t take a player through sign-and-trade, can’t benefit from non-taxpayer MLE, and can’t take more than salary in a trade.
