Julius Randle can try to downplay this Knicks reunion, but the truth is more complicated
NY Post
MINNEAPOLIS — Don’t let his brevity or dismissive answers fool you. It’s personal for Julius Randle against the Knicks on Thursday night.
How could it not be?
Randle, if you remember not too long ago, was the face of the franchise. He uplifted the Knicks from nearly a decade of misery during the pandemic season and then signed a discounted extension because, as he said at the time, “I feel like [the added financial flexibility] can help us win.”
Three years later, Randle was up for another extension and stated his desire to sign long-term. Instead, he felt alienated by the franchise and was shipped to Minnesota — where the temperature will dip to 4 degrees this weekend — and remains without a new contract.

If you were brave enough to watch the Jets play the Jaguars on Sunday and you had the stomach to make it to the end of the game, you may have noticed something different about the game.
The Knicks’ pending visit to Minnesota obviously marks the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to Target Center, but it also will be the first time Julius Randle faces his former team following the blockbuster September trade with the Timberwolves.
