New York Knicks forward Julius Randle has a dislocated right shoulder, ESPN reported Saturday night.
Randle exited Saturday’s 125-109 victory over the Heat with 4:27 remaining in the fourth quarter after colliding with Miami forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. during a drive to the basket. He landed awkwardly on his right side and was in noticeable pain as he ran to the locker room with trainers.
A foul was called on Jaquez, and Jericho Sims ended up shooting the ensuing free throws, meaning Randle could not return to the game even if he was cleared to play.
Before exiting, Randle recorded 19 points and nine rebounds in 32 minutes of action.
In 46 games (all starts) this season, the 29-year-old Randle sports averages of 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 31.1 percent from 3-point range.
New York is back in action on Monday, when it visits the Charlotte Hornets.
