New York Knicks injury report for April 7

The Knicks have listed two players on their injury report: Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) is questionable, while Julius Randle (shoulder) is out.

Player	Status	Injury
Bojan Bogdanovic	Questionable	Left wrist sprain
Julius Randle	Out	Dislocated right shoulder

What happened to Julius Randle?

As per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, it was disclosed on Thursday that Julius Randle will undergo surgery on his right shoulder, effectively ending his season. Randle has been out of action since Jan. 27 following a shoulder dislocation.

Doctors cautioned Randle about the ongoing instability of his shoulder, deeming it unsafe for him to return to play this season despite his rehabilitation efforts.

Despite undergoing rehabilitation in an effort to avoid surgery and targeting a comeback during the playoffs, Randle's decision to undergo the procedure at this point suggests the possibility of him being completely healed by the start of the 2024-25 season, according to Wojnarowski's report.

Beverley's absence from Sunday's game marks his potential third consecutive miss, raising concerns about his ongoing availability due to his ankle injury. Should Beverley's absence persist, there's a possibility of increased playing time for both AJ Green and Pat Connaughton.

With 6:08 remaining in the third quarter, Beverley exited the game and returned to the bench at the start of the fourth. However, he didn't re-enter the game for the remainder of the Bucks' matchup against the Washington Wizards.
