Randle had attempted to recover in time for the NBA playoffs, but he wasn't able to do enough to be able to return. He'll look to make a full recovery for next season. The next step for New York will be seeing if they can get OG Anunoby back on the court for the playoffs.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said Julius Randle hasn’t been cleared for full contact yet.
