[Woj] ESPN Sources: Knicks All-Star forward Julius Randle (left ankle sprain) is targeting a return vs. the Cavaliers on Saturday. Randle has been steadily improving and plans to test his left ankle prior to gametime before making a final decision on rejoining lineup for Game 1.

LETTSSSS GOOOOO
This looks to me like Julius is playing and they’re just trying to keep cleveland on their toes until game time. But i also wouldnt be surprised if he didn’t play game one.
WE HAVE THE HULK!
Never in doubt
People really thought he wasn’t going to play. Literally thibs cracked a smile when a reporter asked if Julius was going to be ready and then said “we will take it day by day”. Thibs is a veteran coach, he knows about the gamesmanship.
He’s playing 100%
Playoff redemption tour
WWWWWWWWWW
Full rest randle. Let’s fucking goooooooooo.
KNICKS IN 4
From Woj’s lips to God’s ears.
PROVE EM WRONG JULIUS
Cavs shitting themselves rn
Hopefully hes been good to go for a couple days now and theyre just keeping their cards close to their chest
If theres any risk of re-injury or long-term injury (think KD’s achilles tear after his calf sprain in the Finals) they should shut him down
Woj bomb has got to be worth it’s weight in gold.
I am beyond HYPED!
Wearing my Randle jersey from now ’til tip off to transfer ankle healing powers to Julius
LETS GET IT BRURTHURS
Let’s go big guy.
We litty two titties
Please please please don’t reinjure yourself Jules.
Damn this guy’s nuts. Whatever you want to say about him, he fucking fights. Not so many guys as determined to play every game possible like he is.
You’d assume a minutes restriction ?
But I know who the coach is.
As excited as I am about potentially having Randle for game 1 I seriously hope he doesn’t rush into it. Aggregating it can ruin any potential run
KING JU
REVENGE SEASON
I wouldn’t be surprised if he sits for game 1 still. This week all feels like strategically cheeky vague inury reports in time for the playoffs.
Creates a lot of extra film prep and uncertainty in prep for the other team.
All that said gonna be HYPE I’d he steps on that court for the jump ball.
As long as he isn’t rushing back
Meh. I really hope he doesn’t force it.
Game 2 is on Tuesday…..If Randle is still feeling discomfort, then give him the rest until Game 2. The squad can hold down Game 1. Regardless, we need Randle back to take this series.
