www.si.comHere’s the latest available update on Julius Randle:
-
As of April 2026, Julius Randle is with the Minnesota Timberwolves and was active for the playoff run after returning from a hand issue that affected him late in the regular season. Fox Sports notes he wasn’t listed on the injury report for Game 1 of the playoffs, suggesting he was cleared to play. This indicates he’s contributing for Minnesota heading into the postseason.[5]
-
Earlier, in 2024, Randle’s season with the Knicks ended due to a right shoulder injury requiring surgery; he was sidelined for the remainder of that season and underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, with a reevaluation planned for five months later. The Knicks announced the surgical decision as the likely route after attempts to rehab without surgery were exhausted.[1][2]

In 2025, there was coverage about Randle opening up on his trade to the Timberwolves and finding fit in Minnesota, noting his improved production and role there, including a second All-Star nod in the 2022-23 timeframe context; this is part of his broader career trajectory rather than a single game update.[6]
