Via the NY Post:
All-Star forward Julius Randle will have his sprained left ankle reevaluated in two weeks, the team announced Thursday, meaning he will miss at least the final five games of the regular season — beginning Friday night against the Cavaliers — and possibly the start of the playoffs.
As long as the Knicks are not in the play-in round, the playoffs for them would start no earlier than April 15.
Historically, the league has played the eight Game 1’s on the first two playoff days (this year that would be April 15-16).
Randle, the team’s leading scorer at 25.1 points per game, has started all 77 games this season before departing late in the second quarter of Wednesday’s win over the Heat after landing on the foot of Miami forward Bam Adebayo.
