Oh yeah, there’s that familiar guy; there goes that guy we know. It just took a good old-fashioned spanking for Julius Randle to inspire New York Knicks fans to dance in the streets of any borough without music. Following the Knicks’ obliteration of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night at the Target Center, the usual player meet-and-greet took place on the court.
However, former Knick Julius Randle was nowhere to be found. According to the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy , Randle did indeed bolt for the locker room as soon as the game was over. Julius Randle went straight to the locker room after the Timberwolves loss.
No shaking of hands or pleasantries with former teammates. Fans speculated that Jalen Brunson ‘s tardiness in leaving the court in the postgame was due to Randle’s absence. You can just tell Jalen was waiting for Julius Randle and meanwhile Julius just went straight back to the locker room.
@SbondyNBA reported that Divo went to give hugs to his former teammates just clarifying. @AndrewJClaudio_ pic.twitter.
com/Z8sWD7s47t Brunson continued staring until he finally gave it up while seemingly uttering something under his breath with his towel covering up his mouth. Although it’s total speculation at this point, there isn’t a surprised Knicks fan. In five years with the Knickerbockers, Randle experienced his fair share of decorum-type incidents.
The three-time NBA All-Star had been mired in trade rumors for a long time while in the Big Apple. Fin.
