This Is A MAJOR PROBLEM… | Knicks News

This is a major problem for the New York Knicks according to an NBA Insider he notes that Julius randle’s recovery is taking longer than expected and internally the New York Knicks are absolutely concerned we’re going to break down these latest reports why the Knicks are concerned and what this could

Mean for Julius Randall and when he could return for the New York Knicks all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new

Content and now let’s get started Julius randle’s return is in Jeopardy that’s right folks Randall was supposed to return a few weeks ago if you guys remember before OG an anobi was scheduled to return Randall was stated that he was going to probably return he was actually scheduled to return a

Little bit before anobi but nothing ever happened he was progressing well he was hitting his Milestones but then there was a drop off in communication about Randall and his progress and now we know why internally the New York Knicks are concerned because Randall was supposed to be cleared for contact much earlier

But he has not been cleared for contact with his team yet only contact with pads and apparently because of this a lot of people internally within the New York Knicks organ organization are showing significant concern let’s break down these latest reports about Randall and his recovery from injury according to

Ian Bagley SNY NBA Insider he notes that there’s concerns for Julius Randall at the moment Randall’s comeback is taking longer than expected and that’s raising concerns Ian Bagley from SNY notes the following Randle however has not been cleared for contact meaning that he has only been practicing taking shots and

Not actually engaging in physical contact with others only with the pads as we’ve reported earlier on this channel ble continues here and gives us the following information about Randall Mitchell Robinson and a couple of other key Nicks and their return according to Bley Julius Randall and Mitchell

Robinson also are going to travel with the Knicks on the west coast trip which is also a good sign for those two but with Randall you know he had been doing everything except taking contact everything that anobi had been doing prior to taking contact for a long time

And Randall hasn’t been cleared yet for contact and there is some concern about why it’s taking so long according to SNY reporter Ian Bagley this is something anobi has already been doing for weeks taking contact therefore it may be several more weeks before Randall can return as he

Still needs to be cleared for contact this could put the Nicks aspirations in jeopardy as the playoffs begin in under 6 weeks this could be a major setback for Julius Randall and the New York Knicks the Knicks were obviously hoping to get Randall Mitchell Robinson and OG

And anobi back this month so that way the Knicks get fully healthy get more deep and obviously have additional time to gain chemistry together gain footing together and go into the playoffs not only fully healthy but also a well-oiled machine that can take on any team if

They’re still trying to figure F out chemistry in the postseason that could mean an issue for the New York Knicks trying to establish a deep postseason run so that’s the only thing we have to think about with regards to this and Julius Randall the Knicks did not need

This news though this is honestly the worst news the Knicks could actually get at this point in time Julius Randall their three-time Allstar is needed for the New York Knicks he is needed healthy if the Knicks want to have a deep playoff push they cannot have a deep

Playoff push in my opinion without J Julius Randle being on that floor for them because he just does so much commands so much attention draws so many Defenders and he’s such a highlevel basketball player that he knows how to pass out of that find the open man and

Make sure they get an open shot that’s what the Knicks need right now more than anything else boan banovic he’s looked good with Randall he’s looked better Alec Burks has not looked good at all with Julius Randall he’ll look even better Jaylen Brunson he’s looked good but honestly we’ve seen him struggle

Without Julius Randall occasionally if Randall was in those games he would take the pressure off of Brunson and allow Brunson a little bit more Lane in the paint to operate and work because Randall takes Defenders off of Brunson as well too Randall also finds Brunson when he’s open cutting or finding some

Type of space on the corner that’s what Randall does as well too I think sometimes when we see this Knicks team and we see them winning hustling showing their heart showing their passion I think sometimes we forget about Randall his impact and what he means to this

Knicks team and that’s a dangerous game to play because Randall went fully healthy if we forgot that month of January the Knicks without Mitchell Robinson was dominating the league that was before we had boan and Burks if we had them during that stretch the Knicks would probably been blowing out teams by

Even more of a large margin that’s how much Julius would have utilized boan and works because he understands the type of killers those guys are the Assassins they are in the corners and all around the perimeter went open and because of that he would have taken advantage of

That and played more bully ball and honestly guys if Ian Bagley is concerned if the Knicks internally are reportedly concerned if Randall has not progressed to taking contact which is the next mil stone for him and he’s not reached that point yet then honestly guys right now I’m very concerned

I’m very concerned about Randall when he could return for the New York Knicks and potentially when if ever this season he’s going to move to taking contact there’s a reason he hasn’t done that yet maybe he feels uncomfortable maybe the medical staff feels uncomfortable maybe they feel hesitant about doing so

Because they think if they do he could dislocate it again reinjure it again and then he’ll be on the shelf for longer periods of time maybe that’s the concern if that’s the case it’s all pointing for me that needs surgery now versus later because if they’re concerned about him

Taking any type of contact even slight contact I don’t think it makes any sense for him to return have more damage done to the shoulder play through the pain because we know that’s what randle’s going to do maybe he’ll miss training camp and the start of the season if he

Puts undue stress on that shoulder right now I’m sure his Camp Julius Randall and the Nick’s medical staff are considering all of these things all of these factors and everything they’ve been witnessing while while he’s been practicing and warming up I’m sure all of these aspects are factors being considered by Julius

Randall his camp and the New York Nicks medical staff you got to figure that they have to consider everything as well as the best interest of the player and his health and if all of those things don’t line up right now they’re going to hesitate they’re going to wait and

They’re going to be patient and I think that’s exactly what they’re doing with Randall and maybe the reason the doctors haven’t cleared him yet is because there still is significant concern that he can do more damage to that shoulder right now so maybe he’s not fully healthy to

Take contact yet and that is significant because you got to think about how taking contact actually works you don’t go straight back to practice taking contact starts with one-on ones then two on twos three on threes four on fours full practice contact drills and then contact without limitations and then

Practice without limitations that is how the New York Knicks need to work Julius Randall back that’s not a onewe process that’s not a twoe process that’s not a three-week process that’s several additional weeks that Julius Randle is likely going to have to miss in order

For him to recover and get back on the floor for the New York Knicks which might mean that his recovery time of him coming back in March is absolutely in Jeopardy right now he could be pushing it more toward April now this could be a good thing in Disguise because Julius

Randall getting more rest getting more opportunity to rest a player who doesn’t like to rest and if he was available he would likely be playing each and every game Heavy minutes because when he’s available he does not like to miss time for the Knicks we’ve already known that

And that’s been established ever since the New York Knicks got Julius Randall so we already know that but maybe for Randall’s own good the medical staff wants to hold him out just a few more weeks make sure he’s fully healthy and fully good before he starts taking

Contact I’m okay with it if that’s what they’re doing but they have to communicate that if they’re not communicating that and all we’re hearing is that it’s a concern for Julius Randle right now because he’s not moved on to the next step that he should have moved

On to a few weeks ago hearing it that way is going to concern every single New York Nick fan including myself they have to speak out about this they have to acknowledge it and they have to make sure the public understands that Julius Randle is either okay or he’s going to

Need additional time or maybe something else is going on either way that transparency from the New York Knicks is needed right now because without it everybody’s going to make up their own narrative think what they’re going to think and it’s going to turn into chaos the Knicks need to quell the chaos the

Way they do that is to make a statement I hope Julius randle’s doing okay I’m not sure why he hasn’t taken contact with other players yet again he’s been taking contact with the pads he’s been doing that for a while we know that but not taking any type of player contact

Yet or even if he’s taking maybe light player contact but it hasn’t progressed even past that because there concerns right now from the medical staff that in itself is significant and something we need to look at I hope Randle can push past this come back this season and have

No issues with that shoulder but the fact that he has not been cleared for contact when he should have been back a little bit before OG and anobi that is absolutely concerning I hope we get an update shortly on Randall and when we can expect them back on the court but if

Everything is looking like it’s looking right now then I got to say he still has weeks to go before has to go through contact drills and go through full practice that means we’re likely not going to see Randall until maybe what April at best and that is a long ways

Away from the March timeline that we expected and to quote Ian Bagley again Randall hasn’t been cleared for contact yet and there is some concern about why it’s taking so long and the only way for the New York Knicks to quell that concern is by releasing a statement once

They do that we’ll have more updates more official updates on Randall and his status but as of right now this update from Ian Bagley has me absolutely concerned just like apparently the New York Knicks are internally but what about you guys what do you think about this concerning update about Julius

Randall and his recovery from injury let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of

Course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace

The Knicks could have a major problem on their hands. All-Star power forward Julius Randle was scheduled to return from injury a few weeks ago, even before some of our other injured players. In the beginning, there was a lot of communication about Randle and the fact that he was hitting his milestones. However, communication went silent about a week and a half ago and we didn’t understand why. But thanks to an NBA Insider, we now know that there are concerns internally about Julius Randle and his recovery from injury… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

  1. Bro Burkes is done and Bogdon is a defensive liability they don't help the team as you are stating Bogdon is not consistent in his shots they were acquired to free up money later

  2. Im starting to think Alec Burks and Bogdanovic are bringing a losing culture to ny. Right now, I see nothing special about these two since the trade. SMH.

  3. The Knicks need to promote Isaiah Roby. This team needs a "Big" that can consistently shoot the Basketball. Randle is the only Big that can score. "Robinson, Hartenstein, Sims and Achiuwa" all unnatural Scorers. 🏀

  4. Everyone needs to chill about Randle’s return. He had a serious injury that needs time to heal. As long as Randle is back 4-5 games before the start of the post season, I’m good with giving him more recovery time. Don’t start worrying until we hear that he’s not coming back until the first game in the playoffs. Until then, Precious has been solid and with the return of Robinson and OG, we’re a going to be much more competitive.

  5. I think Randall should forget about this season and come back strong next season there's no reason for him to come back and injure himself again

  6. I had that same concern before they put this out, my main concern is the Opposition testing and targeting the shoulder.

  7. Randall is not gonna be anywhere near 100%. Even if he does come back we will be lucky to have him at 50%. If we’re lucky it’s only gonna be a repeat of the last two years where we got slaughtered.

  8. It seems to me like they’re taking extra precautions with him because they’re really afraid of him re-injuring that and they want to be absolutely absolutely sure that he won’t because if they bring them back too soon, he could mess up his shoulder again before the playoffs

  9. Main point is you need 20 pts to replace Randles production. He wasn’t a great defender so Thibs needs to adjust his starting lineup w/ Bogo (20 pt scorer) at the 4 or Knicks are dead in the water.

  10. Julius is yet to show up in a playoff series, but we can still wait until mid April if we need to.

  11. They're just going to have to start planning without Randle… I say get his let's go to with what we got. He also has to think about his career I'm for getting his shoulder fixed; Next year very important for him.

  12. Let's see who's left out there from buyout market maybe Morris sr. Who plays a similar style to ju-ju whatever we do Let's do it now just in case.

  13. Seriously 😂This dude isn't coming back this season!! And if he did what would he do? He hasn't been productive in the playoffs since he's been here. And to come back and have Thibbs play him 40 minutes just to reaggravate his injury?

  14. If he really needed surgery everyone involved would had known it by now but playing in the NBA he can get hurt its a risk thy might be thinking to hold him out till the last week of the season to make sure he is as good as he can get..

  15. MRI shoulder showed no significant injury this means no labrum tear, no torn rotator cuff, no surgery at present . Small damage, inflammation and continued inflammation from light contact leading to minor pain is concerning because lingering injuries will carry into the off season. Juju is fine he is meeting goals but he needs to progress in healing and taking solid 5×5 contact where the pain from inflammation and fear of dislocation has resolved. Remember when he fell he suffered mental trauma also and now it is in his head. He is being told that if he injures the shoulder again it means surgery and rehab with no guarantee that his shoulder will be back to 100% again. This might make him less inclined to get on the court without 100% confidence that he is good to go. I think he wants to play and his shoulder is good enough to play but the high level game with bully ball is what Julius game is predicated on and what we as fans want to see and enjoy and will win playoff games. Knicks management knows that the off season success requires a healthy and pain free Randle.

  16. shoulders are very tricky if he can't play bully ball he is pretty much useless. it's obvious he needs surgery doubtful we ever see him win the playoffs.

  17. Injury reports are cluttered with weighed statements as to not give any indication as to the real situation. Not sure if Julius is being held back for long term issues with the shoulder, or if it is just to keep their cards close to the vest. If surgery was needed he would have had it already, so the MRIs dont show that. It’s just taking longer than expected and judging by Randles injury history it is not surprising.

  18. let's all be concerned. with all the trouble in the world let's put randle's injury at the top of the list.
