The media for me this is what I’ve been waiting for we’ve heard a couple of things from other NBA insiders randle’s Camp has released some things but Tom thibo recently hasn’t discussed anything about Julius Randall while he’s been sitting down with the media justess kept saying he’s working with pads he’s

Working with pads but nothing else from that now we have a little bit more of an update from Tom thibo regarding Randall and how he’s doing in recovery right now let’s take a look at exactly what he said to NBA Insider Steph Bondi with the New York Post shout out to the account

New York basketball on the app X for giving us the following information as well too according to head coach Tom thibo about Julius Randall for him it’s just work working out each day he’s trying to strengthen the shoulder area his focus is the rehab some days have

Been better than others but just keep working at it and you never know when it turns and you never know when it turns but you know I couldn’t stop there if I knew New York Post Steph bondy had an article about it you knew I was going

To look into it find it and figure out what else Tom Deo said and that’s exactly what I did for you guys let’s check out Steph Bond’s latest article about this and see what else Tom tho have to say about Julius Randall now maybe you were looking for

More information maybe you were looking information to the length of this and if you were I can understand why this is a sizable quote from Tom thibo but the following updated quote is that continuation from Tom tho and what he said at that press conference with the media and according to thibs regarding

Randall he’s just working out that’s all according to the New York Post Randall accompanied the Knicks on their 4game road trip but according to periodic updates from Tom thibo the power forward has been stuck on light contact with pads for about three weeks with a shoulder dislocation which randel

Suffered late January there’s a high incidence of re injury an eventual surgery Randall opted against surgery or at least put it off because he wants to return this season and we already know behind the scenes Randall is pushing the New York Knicks the medical staff and

The coaching staff so he can return fast for the New York Knicks he understands right now is the time where he needs to return being pacful and help the Knicks solidify their seating and also become a very strong postseason team but honestly the only way the Knicks become a strong

Postseason team is if they get a fully healthy Randall back and maybe he can’t be 100% fully healthy due to that shoulder dislocation even so he has to be as fully healthy as possible if he can only be 90% fully healthy then I need him to be 90% fully healthy before

He returns if he’s 89% I can’t have him returning we need him as fully healthy as possible so that way when the Knicks continue this next stretch which is going to be tough after these next couple of games against these scrub teams we’re going to need every

Everybody on Deck all hands on board that includes Julius Randall that includes Mitchell Robinson that includes Isaiah hartenstein not being on a minutes restriction that includes OG and anobi coming back for the Knicks we have a lot of moving Parts a lot of factors but one of the main ones is Julius

Randall and I wanted to go back real quick to what Tom th had to say regarding Randall and how he’s doing right now in his recovery progress as you saw here Tom thibo stated that Julius Randall is just trying trying to strengthen the area and he’s focused on

His rehab some days are obviously better than others for Randall but he’s going to continue working at it until that shoulder turns the right way and he moves on to the next step now I didn’t mention it at the time but I want to say it now that update from Tom thibo

Regarding Julius Randall is absolutely concerning it’s concerning because it says that he’s doing everything he needs to do continuously doing the rehab doing the work each and every day and if you know Julius Randall he’s probably putting in double the work each and every day given who he is the fact that

He wants to come back and he hate missing games so we all understand that about Randall however even though he’s been doing all of this still has not been cleared still not taking full contact the medical staff still do not feel comfortable clearing Randall to take full contact and would rather him

Continue doing what he’s doing right now that is a very concerning sign folks he has been doing pad work for the last couple of weeks he was doing pad work when OG an anobi started taking contact let’s get that right A lot of people believed at the time that Randall was

Going to return first then OG then Mitchell Robinson as it’s looking like right now OG return first Mitchell Robinson looks like he’s going to return second and Julius Randall looked like he’s going to return last and we don’t even know the date it’s still open-ended because of the way he answered that

Randle’s doing everything he needs to do right working on it every day but he’s working on it every day with the hope that something whatever that thing is will change so that way the medical staff will clear him to the next step of taking contact that’s what we’re waiting

For my question is what is stopping him from moving on to that next step is he hesitating still when he’s doing the control contact does it hurt when he’s taking the pain still what is causing him to not move on to that full contact is the medical staff concerned that if

He takes more contact to that shoulder he could do some serious harm to it and potentially could risk injuring it further if that’s the case in my opinion he should take surgery now because when he comes back what do you think NBA players are going to do do you think

They’re going to say in their head you know what he’s opting not to have surgery on that shoulder I know that I’m going to think about that I’m going to try not to hit him even if they did think about that the way the NBA is being called right now is extremely

Physical way more physical than a few years ago that doesn’t help Randall right now given the injury it would have helped Randall and his game if he wasn’t injured but the fact that he is injured right now that’s going to pose a big problem to him his physicality and his

Game he’s not going to be able to utilize it the same way players are going to hunt him hunt that shoulder they’re going to hit it and they’re not going to care because at the end of the day they’re going to want to win the game and if it’s a playoff game you

Really think they care they’re going to want to win the game more than anything else so in my opinion if that’s the case then make sure Randall is as good as possible before he comes back can deal with the pain each and every time he gets hit on that shoulder each and every

Time because if he grimaces has to come out of the game hesitates when he takes contact each and every time or after a few times starts hesitating it’s going to hurt the Knicks I’m sorry to say that because I love Randall love his game love his loyalty I want him to come back

Trust me I do I understand how good Randall is for this Knicks team when fully healthy that’s the thing though when healthy he has not been cleared for full contact yet I still don’t know why nothing has been released Regarding why Randall has not been cleared yet for

Full contact we understand it’s not been done we even understand now what he’s been doing since he’s not been cleared for contact but what is the reason that’s the next thing I’m waiting to figure out what is the exact reason why Randall has not moved on to full contact

Because until he does and I’ve said it in each and every Randall video I’ve been covering so far if he doesn’t move on to full contact I am going to continue to be concerned that’s his next step it’s been his next step for weeks

And he still has not moved on to it the Nicks medical staff have to have a good reason for it and if he comes back 89% when he could have been 93 94% it’s going to hurt the Knicks it is absolutely going to hurt us he has to be

Able to take contact to that shoulder he plays in a way where he utilizes that shoulder to create contact create space and be a able to use that space to get off a good shot if he can’t do that it’s absolutely going to affect this game players are absolutely going to Target

It and if they do more damage to it than necessary his surgery which he may be putting off till the off season so he can return now for the New York Knicks he might not be able to put it off anymore he might have to rush it Forward

Just a couple of weeks and get the surgery now versus later now I saw a lot of your comments and I understand where you guys are coming from in your perspective you don’t want R to return right now do more harm to the New York Knicks and that shoulder in general some

Of you guys want R to have surgery right now and I can understand why because each and every update I give you is really concerning it’s not a great update and it’s not an update that tells you he’s moved forward it tells you progress it tells you an update of where

He is but where he is is no different really from where he was the week before or the week before that or the week before that so that’s the concerning part I can understand that but if you think that this Knicks team does not need Julius Randall you you are

Absolutely 100% wrong the New York Knicks need Julius Randall in the worst way and if they don’t have him it’s going to be concerning because they can’t make up for a three-time All-Star power forward there is no way prees has been great hartenstein has been great

Dante has been great Duce has been great they’re all great role players maybe Dante might be knocking on the door of a star but Julius Randall is that dude is that three-time Allstar the way he draws Defenders what healthy will make this Knicks team nearly Unstoppable given the

Shooters that we have on this roster we have to consider that a healthy Julius Randall is an absolute game changer for this Knicks team it will hurt them immensely if they go into the postseason or they continue the season in general without Julius Randall that’s how good

He is I don’t want to hear any more comments about the Knicks are good they just need to get OG back and they’ll be fine no no no no no OG is a great addition a key player Mitchell Robinson great addition key player Julius Randall great addition extremely key player one

Of the best players we have on our roster you don’t think we need him we need him in the worst way I hope he moves on to contact soon I hope he returns to the floor for the New York Nicks soon and I hope he can play a few

Games during the regular season with this upgraded Knicks team so that way in the postseason we are destroying teams just like I know this Nick team can do once we’re healthy but what about you guys what do you think about this concerning update about Julius Randall

And the fact that again Tom tho has mentioned that he’s doing everything he needs to do during rehab he’s working on that shoulder each and every day but he still has not progressed to full contact and if anything Theo’s updates suggest they don’t know when that’s going to

Happen every day he does the same thing and they’re hoping praying that something will will change let me know how you feel about that in the comments folks because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it
