I remember JLin sitting out in the playoffs so as to not jeopardize a big contract in the off season.
Not saying it was not a smart move for Lin to do that just that Randle does not have the same mindset. Has a warriors mentality. That and his durability is often unappreciated.

Hope the injury does not take him out of beast mode. Don't want him working on his three pointer while rehabbing and getting away from that. My bet is that he will be back in 2 weeks. My hope is that the team makes him take more time.

Lin was quoted as saying he was 90% ready to return, not feeling 90%. So... if feeling 70% is good enough to play, he felt ~63%. :)

With any absence, the player needs into game shape and get their rhythm back, but a little extra rest and strengthening work on other parts of his body will go a long way.

We're 46 games into the season right now (Monday 1/29).
* Mon 1/29 - Wed 2/14: 9 games.

All-star break happens and we don't have another game until Thursday 2/22. That's 3 1/2 weeks. I think that's the Knicks early target.

I got that right?

Cause it seems reasonable

As long as he doesn;t make any faces.

This would also reduce the probability of future thumbs down by 50%.

Reduces the probability of a double thumbs down to 0%

The first game he gets booed at the Garden:

I thought I was in deep trouble when I counted to 9... thought I'd run out of fingers.

So with a blow out vs the Hornets, do we even really need Randle, OG, Fournier, RJ, and Quickley?

Mitch got screw(s) placed in his injured area. We know that.

It's obvious the Knicks and Randle don't yet know the extent of what they are dealing with.

It's more likely and less sinister or cryptic.

Is that from the time of the injury or starting this week? 🙏

I have to tell you, as good as that news sounds, from a purely guess perspective, I don't like it.

Randle tried to play through ankle problems at the end of last year during the playoffs. He probably shouldn't have and we know he had ankle surgery after and was obviously well below 100% during playoffs.

Maybe this is literally nothing but I'd guess it's more Randle (and/or the Knicks) trying to do his usual heroic thing while maybe, kinda, sorta injured. Totally commendable. Completely 100% commendable.

But also a big, long term risk. Ugh. No win situation.

It's his non-shooting shoulder, so there is that.

OR, I'm 100% wrong and should shut the pie hole

This sounds like Randle definitely tore something in his shoulder and is trying physical therapy first.

Same

Wait? That is a bit of a rush.

The way I understand these things is sometimes on the MRI you can’t tell if there is anything damaged and need it to heal and have inflammation subside. I see this exactly as they have said- it’s a dislocated shoulder. They don’t see anything broken or torn- and it 2-3 weeks- which is probably the time frame for some basically healing to take place, they will see where Randle is in terms of feeling, strength, pain and if they need to evaluate with another scan, they will.

Physically therapy is going to be ice or warmth to keep heeling, range of motion as things go back into place- not a tear. I think a tear would be immobilize the arm.

Officially not a dr.

+1

MRI is everything.

Reevaluation is probably just for clearance.
But just hoping.
