Julius Randle's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) recently stated he'd "love" to remain with the team. The 29-year-old had shoulder surgery in April but hasn't resumed on-court activities. He's also eligible for a contract extension in August, although there are many who believe he could be traded, something the front office has denied. Without question, Randle has been a quality fantasy asset over the years, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 24 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in 46 appearances. He should remain productive no matter where end ends up when the season begins in October. Randle could even benefit if given a more prominent role in another offense.

According to Fred Katz of the New York Times, the Knicks aren't looking to trade forward Julius Randle. However, the team could move him, especially if it means landing a superstar to pair with Jalen Brunson (hand). Randle has been productive in his last five seasons with the Knicks, and he finished 2023-24 by averaging 24.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old was limited to 46 games and underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in April. Randle is eligible to sign an extension on August 3. But if New York has a chance to upgrade the roster significantly, his tenure in the Big Apple might be over before the 2024-25 campaign begins. With that said, outside of this year, Randle has stayed relatively healthy, making him an ideal fantasy asset. On the other hand, he has some areas to address, with his 33.3% career three-point shooting being one of them.

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle could land on a new squad for next season. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, teams are "monitoring" Randle's situation in New York. The three-time All-Star will be eligible to sign a four-year, $190 million contract extension this offseason. His current deal runs until the summer of 2026, with a $32 million player option for the final season. Randle's 2023-24 campaign was largely ruined by a shoulder injury, but the 29-year-old played at a high level when in the lineup, averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday. The 29-year-old dislocated his right shoulder in January. While he tried to get back on the floor for the playoffs, he ultimately needed to go under the knife. Randle had another quality year, averaging 24.0 points and 9.2 rebounds in 46 games. He will be re-evaluated in five months, so it appears he might be ready for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. Considering Randle had played at least 71 games in the previous three seasons leading up to this one, the surgery shouldn't be enough to lower his fantasy stock significantly.

After two months of rehabilitation to attempt a return, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery. Randle dislocated his shoulder on Jan. 27, and surgery became inevitable after two specialists warned of possible permanent damage if he returned to play before a procedure. Although the 29-year-old All-Star wasn't expected to be a factor in fantasy leagues down the stretch, it's a crushing blow to the 44-31 Knicks' chances of making a deep postseason run. Randle's season ends with averages of 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game over 46 appearances for New York. Josh Hart has filled in admirably and should continue being treated as a must-start option in his absence, averaging 11.5 points, 10.9 boards, 6.0 dimes, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 threes in 41.0 minutes across 29 games since Randle went down.
