The Knicks are still playing well this season, the current ranking in the East is very delicate, except for the Celtics who lead the East alone, the rest of the teams can become the second in the East, from the Bucks in the second place in the East to the Pacers in the sixth place in the West, there is only a 4.5 win difference between them, so they all have a chance to rush to the second place in the West, and the Knicks and the Bucks only have a 2 win difference, and it is stable to enter the playoffs.
The Knicks are in the playoffs, but they won't go far, and Randle, the team's main interior player, has an early end to his season. According to the Knicks' official announcement, Randle finally decided to undergo right shoulder surgery after nearly two months of rehabilitation, and the reimbursement was officially announced this season, and he is expected to re-evaluate the injury in 5 months, and the specific comeback time depends on the progress of the surgery and recovery.
Randle's injury dates back to January, when the Heat played against the Knicks, in the fourth quarter, Randle collided with Harkes on the offense, and Randle fell to the floor on his shoulder after falling, and there were 4 minutes left in the game, after which Randle went back to the locker room for treatment.
Randle has been undergoing rehabilitation since the injury, as the Knicks have given him hope this year, and he has done everything possible to keep himself off the operating table in order to return early to help the team. Randle's eventual insistence ultimately failed to withstand the team's assessment. Medical experts warn that if Randall forces his comeback before surgery, it could cause further secondary injuries and permanent damage to his shoulder. It's still young, there's no need to gamble on your career.
Randle's season reimbursement is a big loss for the Knicks, so far this season Randle has played 46 games for the Knicks, averaging 24 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game, Randle's data can be called the whole year, and even better is his ability to impact the basket and finish, this season Randle has shot a total of 316 goals in the offensive area within 5 feet under the basket, hitting 201 of 316 balls, with a shooting rate of 63.6%, and Randle is still very stable on the inside.
The Knicks' record was 29-17 before Randle's injury, and the Knicks' record was 16-14 after Randle's injury, which shows Randle's importance to the Knicks. The house leak happened overnight, and the Knicks had more than one injury, and Anunoby, who was also a starter, was also recovering from an injury, and now he could only feel sorry for Brunson, and he carried the team on his shoulders and continued to move forward.
The NBA playoffs are where the "leftovers are king" and the leftovers are the ones who can stand through the 82 regular-season games. The Knicks aren't the only team experiencing health issues, and the risk of injury increases as the stars show signs of fatigue at the end of the regular season. As the old Chinese saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, and this is really true, may all players stay away from injuries!
