The New York Knicks have had a stellar season thus far, but lately have had to push forward without two of their key players – Julius Randle, who has been recovering from a dislocated shoulder, and OG Anunoby who is recovering from surgery for loose body in his right elbow.
The Knicks have been without both players since January 27th, but a new update from one of the best NBA journalists in the industry has provided fans with an update on when they can expect both Randle and Anunoby back in the lineup.
“Know this with Julius Randle. Last season, when he had an ankle injury, there was a lot of suggestion to him from medical people that he may want to have that surgery, that he put off until the offseason, during the season. He didn’t do it, played injured into the playoffs, then had the procedure in the offseason,” Wojnarowski stated prior to the Knicks’ game against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. “You kind of start there, with Julius Randle… his inclination is to play, and to even play hurt and in some discomfort. That’s his goal right now, to try and get back and play and put anything off until the offseason, but that’s still fluid.”
As for Anunoby, he seems to be right on schedule with what the team expected.
“I’m told he is right on schedule, there have not been any setbacks, and they will re-evaluate him at the end of next week,” Wojnarowski said. “And the hope is that he starts to get back on the court then.”
