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.

But people have been telling me all year that stars resting is actually the teams decision and not up to the players themselves

It's just Julius though, a great Knicks tradition of the FO hiring large forwards that they are then afraid of.

So now he's 100%?

This doesn’t excuse his horrible shot selections. Pass the ball man

Every time he goes through a bad stretch, hit always comes out that was injured. Interesting.

Is the NY media pumping up his trade value or is he actually hurt

[–] Blowback_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dont want to hear excuses, just show me

[–] dedbeats@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is on Thibs. If you risk alienating an INJURED player for sitting him then maybe there’s a bigger problem
