Knicks' Julius Randle: Likely out for season

Randle (quadriceps) will likely be forced to miss the remainder of the season, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Coach Tom Thibodeau had already ruled Randle out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers and Sunday's game against Orlando, and it appears as though the 27-year-old will be unavailable for the final week of the regular season. If he's ultimately sidelined down the stretch, Obi Toppin should continue to serve as a starter while Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims see additional run off the bench. Randle had started in each of his 72 appearances this year and averaged 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 35.3 minutes per game.
