What Happened to Julius Randle? Concerns Creep In as Injury Forces Timberwolves Star to Locker Room

Tragedy strikes the Timberwolves! They have been on fire recently winning their last four games and climbing to the seventh spot in the West standings. And they headed into tonight’s Jazz clash hoping to continue that momentum. However, things took an unfortunate turn when Julius Randle was forced to leave the game due to a scary injury.

The incident occurred in the opening minutes of the second quarter. Randle took a hard drive to the basket to score over a contesting Walker Kessler. Well, his effort paid off as the layup found the bottom of the net. But Julius landed awkwardly after the made basket and immediately began favoring his groin area, hinting that something was wrong. As the play continued, he struggled to run back on defense.

Sure enough, Randle subbed out seconds later and headed straight to the locker room to assess the issues. There might have been an injury on his leg.

 

Status alert: Julius Randle (leg) headed to locker room Thursday.
