The Knicks All-Star player will have his ankle reevaluated in 14 days.

Randle suffered a possible sprained ankle on the team’s victory against Miami Heat on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the regular season.

The NBA postseason will begin after 14 days from Saturday.

Julius left injured near the end of the first half, but Knicks won even without him 101-92 against the Heat. This win was significant for the franchise from the Big Apple in their chase to play in the playoffs for a 2nd time in 3 seasons.

New York Knicks need to win 2 more matches to secure their spot in the playoffs. They also won the series against Miami in the regular season, and if both teams finished with the same record, Knicks would be ahead in the standings.

Julius Randle (28) has averaged at least 25 points and 10 rebounds per match since the beginning of the season, as only 3 more players average at least 25/10 – Embiid, Antetokounmpo, and Davis.
