Julius Randle’s 2025-26 NBA Season

Randle is in the middle of his second season playing for the Timberwolves after a trade (in 2024 via the New York Knicks) sent him to Minnesota.

Right now, the three-time NBA All-Star is averaging 21.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 48.4% from the field and 31.8% from three-point range in 60 games.

In addition to the Timberwolves and Knicks, Randle has also spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans over 12 NBA seasons.

Dane Moore wrote before the game: “Julius Randle is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game in Denver with back spasms. Randle has not missed a game this season — a goal of his this year.”
