Julius Randle Injury Update: Out For Season After Surgery
 |
The Los Angeles Lakers 2014-15 regular season already didn’t look on paper like many wins should be expected, but the situation is now even bleaker after a tragic injury in the team’s season-opener last night.
Lakers rookie forward Julius Randle will likely miss the remainder of the 2014-15 season. He suffered a fractured tibia of his right leg in Tuesday night’s game in Staples Center against the Houston Rockets, and today underwent surgery to fix the fracture. The recovery time suggests we won’t see Randle on an NBA court again this season.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Donald Wiss at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The Lakers expect that Randle, the team’s prized rookie, will make a full recovery.
