Julius Randle announcement that he is leaving the Knicks now presents another significant issue for the team.
Knicks power forward Julius Randle had a rough start to his 2023-24 NBA season. In the first six games, he combined to shoot 26/96 (27.1%) on field goal attempts and 9/40 (22.5%) from three. The struggles were clear, and watching miss after miss wasn’t a pretty scene.

Shaking off some rust, Julius Randle is starting to get back to the player Knicks fans know.
Over the last five games, the Knicks forward has averaged 25.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. More importantly, he is shooting 44.4 percent on his field goal attempts (not great, but improvement), and the Knicks have won four of the five games.
I get it; people were frustrated with his start. He looked slow, angry, disengaged, and just couldn’t put the ball in the basket. While plenty of Knicks fans were gathering outside the Randle household to help him pack, those who still believed in him were patiently waiting.
