After all, in his only two playoff appearances (15 games total), the former No. 7 pick has shot just 34.4 percent from the field and 28.3 percent from 3-point range while averaging 17.1 points per game (he averaged 24.7 points per game in the regular season those years).</p><p>In the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Randle might have had a bit more of an excuse, as he suffered an ankle injury prior to the end of the 2022-23 season but battled through the pain in order to suit up for the Knicks that postseason. Despite aggravating the injury in Game 5, the Knicks took down the Cleveland Cavaliers in the First Round. They then fell to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat in the semifinal round, a series in which the aggressive big man seemed to settle for a lot of tough jumpers though he refused to say his injury affected his performance.</p><p>While his performance earned the ire of the Knicks fan base, his toughness and competitiveness weren’t lost on his teammates.</p><p>“It just really shows you that <a href="https://www.sny.tv/articles/knicks-quentin-grimes-offers-thoughts-on-busy-offseason-upcoming-season" rel="noopener">nobody should ever be questioning</a> his toughness, how much he wants it, how much he cares about the team, how much he cares about winning,” teammate Quentin Grimes tells SNY insider Ian Begley as they discuss Randle playing through injury in the postseason. “I think there’s a certain narrative around him, which I think is total b******t honestly. He cares a lot about this team.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Julius Randle on IG: “Getting back to it 💪🏿” <a href="https://t.co/1bBKRqdlbX">pic.twitter.com/1bBKRqdlbX</a></p><p>— New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA_NewYork/status/1684273795995934721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Randle, now 28-years-old, recently posted an offseason workout video on Instagram as he prepares for his 10th career season.</p><p>To be frank, more commitment to the defensive end, better ball-movement and little less settling for jumpers in general could go a long way for the Texas native in his efforts to lead his team to more wins.</p><p>Nonetheless, as Grimes notes, nobody should ever question just how much Randle actually cares about winning.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Brunson was brilliant, just as he’s been all playoffs; his heroic 38 points, nine rebounds and seven assists represent one of the best performances in Knicks playoffs history. Still, it was Grimes who made the biggest play of the game, stonewalling and then stripping Jimmy Butler with 1:40 left in the fourth quarter, just seconds after seemingly injuring his knee on a Bam Adebayo screen. Although Grimes scored just eight points, his rousing, one-legged <a href="https://twitter.com/sny_knicks/status/1656494061367312391" rel="noopener">steal</a> of Butler to protect a narrow six point lead is the kind of play that would become instantly iconic if the Knicks come back to win the series.</p><p>“It’s the playoffs,” Quentin Grimes said after the game. “You gotta do whatever you can to win. It’s what you’re built for, it’s what you watch as a kid. I was hurt a little bit, but it’s not going to stop me from doing whatever I can to either get a stop or just disrupt the play like how I came up the steal. I knew I just had to fight through it and help the team get a win.”</p><p>While Grimes injured his shoulder in the first round of the playoffs against the Cavs and came off the bench to play just 19.3 minutes per game for the first three games of the Heat series, he’s regained his spot in the Knicks’ starting lineup in the last two games. In Game 4, Grimes played 42 minutes, which he would then top by playing all 48 in Game 5. In doing so, Grimes became just the third Knick to play all 48 minutes of a game in the playoffs, joining Stephon Marbury and Brunson.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
