New York Knicks star Julius Randle's ankle injury to be reevaluated in two weeks

New York Knicks defeated Miami Heat by 101-92 on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. In the second quarter of the match, Knicks' star Julius Randle suffered a sprained ankle. Randle played for 15 minutes and finished with three points, five rebounds and one assist.

As per latest report by ESPN, Randle's ankle injury has ruled him out for the remainder of the regular season. However, he will be reevaluated in two weeks time. It means that Randle would be reevaluated after the first set of play-in games have taken place, and just two days before the first round of the playoffs are set to begin. If he does recover in two weeks time, he would be available for Knicks for their playoffs campaign.
