Julius Randle needs right shoulder surgery, will miss the rest of New York Knicks’ season

Julius Randle needs right shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the season, a crushing blow for a New York Knicks team that was surging before the All-Star forward was hurt in January. The Knicks said Thursday that Randle would be re-evaluated in five months, meaning it's unclear if he will even be ready for the start of next season. The Knicks ended up 14-2 that month, tied for the second-most wins in franchise history in a month.
