What happened to Julius Randle and OG Anunoby?
Julius Randle exited the game in the fourth quarter after a collision with Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. against the Miami Heat on Jan. 27.
Randle, who was making a drive to the basket, took a hard fall on his right side and was visibly in discomfort. He quickly made his way to the locker room, assisted by the Knicks' medical staff.
A league insider noted that Julius Randle's recovery and training activities have been progressing well without any issues.
The conversations about potentially undergoing surgery are mainly preventative steps considered by both Randle and the New York Knicks.
Randle did not offer a definitive response when asked about the potential for surgery once the season ends.
In a road contest with the Hornets on Jan. 29, following pregame warmups, OG Anunoby determined that he wasn't fit to play that night.
He decided not to play due to inflammation in his right shooting elbow, which he has used to hit 3-pointers at a 39% clip since his trade from the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 31.
