Julius Randle rejected attempts from Knicks to rest with ankle pain?
As he struggled through the opening week-plus of the season, Julius Randle had been battling through ankle pain and, as a player committed to availability, resisted attempts from the Knicks to get him to rest, multiple sources told The Post. Randle, who underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery in the offseason, was operating at about “70 percent,” a source said.

“Size is out of the paint, they’ve got to make a decision and it frees things up a little bit.”
Julius Randle has 50p, 26r & 8a over the last two games. Ball movement and Mitchell Robinson have factored into his success. More on that, other notes here: sny.tv/articles/knick… – 9:54 AM

Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson combine for 62 points and 17 assists in blowout win over Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Brunson & Barrett both hit 5 threes to help lift NYK (4-4) to its second home win. Wembanyama had just 6 points & 3 TOs in the first 3 quarters – 10:02 PM

Knicks up on the Spurs by 21 with less than 3 minutes left in Q4 and Thibs has Brunson-Quickley-Barrett-Randle-Robinson on the floor. – 9:52 PM

I think Randle is getting first shot at guarding Wemby but it was hard to tell since he was, you know, not near him. – 7:45 PM

More on this storyline
Randle entered the night shooting just 26-of-96 from the field and 9-of-40 from downtown. In the blink of an eye, a struggling star found his rhythm. He also finished with 10 rebounds and three assists, though Randle turned the ball over six times on the night. “Y’all watched the game,” he said of his shooting night. “I’ll let you evaluate it.” -via New York Daily News / November 7, 2023
Melissa Rohlin: Mason Plumlee has been ruled out with “a knee sprain,” according to @Kristina_Pink. He was carried off the court by two Clippers staffers after Julius Randle ran into his left leg. -via Twitter @melissarohlin / November 7, 2023
