The Knicks announced that Randle underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in five months, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Randle tried to avoid surgery and return for the playoffs but ultimately had to be shut down for the season in early April after dislocating his right shoulder at the end of January. He ended the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes across 46 appearances. Randle is under contract for at least one more season, with a player option worth $29.46 million for 2025-26. His re-evaluation timeline cuts it close to the start of training camp next fall, but there's been no indication Randle is at risk of missing the start of the 2024-25 season.

The Knicks announced Thursday that Randle will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery and be re-evaluated in five months.

EDGE Analysis

Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. Despite spending the last two months rehabbing, the 29-year-old forward will ultimately be shut down for the remainder of 2023-24. Randle will end the season averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across 46 appearances. Josh Hart, Bojan Bogdanovic and Precious Achiuwa should continue to receive increased playing time in the Knicks' forward rotation since OG Anunoby (elbow) is also out.

Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that Randle is still waiting to take contact and is "trying to strengthen the shoulder area," Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. "Some days have been better than others," Thibodeau added. "But just keep working at it and you never know when it turns. So that's the way we have to approach it."

EDGE Analysis

Updates on Randle have often been vague and infrequent since he sustained a dislocated right shoulder in the Knicks' Jan. 27 win over the Heat. Though he was able to avoid surgery on the injury, the veteran power forward doesn't seem to have significant progress in the ensuing two months. For about the past three weeks, Randle has been limited to taking light contact with pads on the court, so he still looks to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this stage of his recovery. The Knicks remain hopeful to get Randle back for the playoffs if not the end of the regular season, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues likely can't justify holding him while his return timeline remains uncertain.

Randle (shoulder) continues ramping up in "controlled contact situations" but has not progressed to any scrimmaging, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Randle's timeline for returning from a dislocated shoulder is difficult to evaluate given the re-injury risk of destabilized shoulders and the muscle re-strengthening needed. Coach Tom Thibodeau did not disclose an estimation for ascending to 5-on-5 action, so Randle remains week-to-week at this time.

Randle (shoulder) took light contact Thursday during the Knicks' practice session, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. While the 29-year-old forward has avoided surgery, his return to game action isn't imminent, even though his presence on the court for practice is a positive sign. He was sporting padding on his right shoulder during Thursday's practice to protect himself from further injury, but until he's cleared to take contact, the Knicks likely won't have a target date for his return to the lineup.

Randle (shoulder) said Wednesday that surgery hasn't been ruled out, but he's hoping to avoid it and doing everything he can to get back as soon as possible, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks announced at the beginning of February that Randle would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder. Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to the injury and isn't practicing yet, so he can be considered week-to-week moving forward. OG Anunoby (elbow) also remains out, so Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart should continue to see elevated roles, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Bojan Bogdanovic's (calf) playing time increase over the next week as he gets acclimated to his new squad.

Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that Randle (shoulder) hasn't been cleared to practice but is progressing well in his recovery, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Randle hasn't played since Jan. 27 due to a dislocated right shoulder. While an official injury report has yet to be announced for Thursday's game versus the 76ers, Randle's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability.

The Knicks announced Thursday that Randle (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Randle suffered a dislocated right shoulder Saturday against the Heat, and the Knicks are optimistic that his absence will be measured in weeks rather than months. However, a better timetable for his return could come into focus once he's re-evaluated in mid-to-late February. Josh Hart has seen plenty of run over the team's past two contests, averaging 9.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 41.0 minutes per game.

Randle (shoulder) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Randle sustained a dislocated right shoulder Sunday against the Heat and is undergoing further testing Monday. An official timeline for Randle won't be provided until after the results of the MRI are read, but the Knicks are hoping that his absence will be measured in weeks rather than months. Josh Hart will likely enter the starting five and take on increased minutes while Randle is sidelined, and Quentin Grimes and Precious Achiuwa are also candidates to see boosts in playing time in Randle's absence.

Randle (shoulder) notched 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-109 victory over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Randle led all Knicks starters in rebounds while finishing one board short of a double-double and ending as one of three players with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Randle has tallied at least 15 points and eight rebounds in six of his last eight contests.
