The New York Knicks announced that All-Star forward Julius Randle will undergo surgery on his right shoulder, forcing him to sit out the remainder of the season. Randle sustained the injury in January, dealing a significant blow to a Knicks team that had been performing well before his absence.
Randle's recovery timeline is set at five months, raising doubts about his availability for the start of the next season. The Knicks had been on a hot streak, winning 14 out of 16 games in January, tying a franchise record for most wins in a month.
