Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (thumb) will play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is ready to show his former team what they are missing, shedding a questionable tag Randle picked up because of a sore left thumb. Impressively, Randle has yet to miss any games this season. He's had a great campaign in Minnesota, though Randle's numbers have dipped slightly over the last 10 games. He has notched 20.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over that span.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (thumb) remains on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. He's been dealing with a sore left thumb recently, though it hasn't yet kept Randle off the floor. However, the injury to his shooting hand has reduced Randle's scoring efficiency. Over the last two games, Randle has shot 12-for-32 from the field (37.5 percent). Naz Reid and Jaylen Clark could get more work if Randle has to exit the lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (thumb) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Randle has been upgraded from questionable to available after dealing with left thumb soreness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to force Randle to the sideline. This season, Randle is averaging 22.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists across 33.4 minutes per game. He has been one of the best fantasy contributors at his position and is a must-start in all fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (thumb) remains on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. Due to a sore left thumb, Randle was also questionable for Monday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies, but he logged 40 minutes of action in the game. This bodes well for his chances of playing on Wednesday. However, Randle is a left-handed shooter, and the thumb issue appeared to affect his scoring ability on Monday, as the three-time All-Star shot only 5-for-14 from the field, including 1-for-6 from behind the arc. Despite his poor shooting, Randle almost pulled off a triple-double, finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (thumb) is good to go for Monday's matchup with Memphis. Randle was listed on the injury report because of left thumb soreness, but he'll be out there on Monday night. The 31-year-old is having a fantastic 2025 campaign, averaging 22.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals. He might be even more productive versus a Grizzlies team that has allowed 116.6 points per game this season, one of the worst averages in the NBA.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (thumb) may be sidelined for the first time in 2025-26 on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Randle stood out with 27 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, but he also appears to have hurt his left thumb. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, Randle is a left-handed shooter, and he might feel too uncomfortable to play. Anthony Edwards (back) is also listed as questionable for Monday, so Minnesota's offense could have a very different look. Meanwhile, Jaylen Clarke and Naz Reid are candidates for more playing time if Randle misses the action.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (foot) has been upgraded to active for Thursday's clash with the Chicago Bulls. Randle is dealing with foot soreness and was added to the team's injury report late, but he has since been cleared to play. Fantasy managers should expect the 31-year-old to still be a big part of the team's offensive attack despite the foot pain. He's played in all 44 Wolves games this campaign, averaging 22.4 points, 5.4 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 33.7 minutes per outing.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (foot) was a mid-day addition to the injury report for his team's home game against the Bulls on Thursday. Randle is dealing with foot soreness, and if he's ruled out, Naz Reid would likely step into even more work off the bench and be a great play against the Bulls in a smash spot for the Timberwolves frontcourt. Rudy Gobert could also get a little more work if Randle is sidelined and be a good option in this contest. Check back to see if Randle can play through the issue Thursday night, but the team will likely be cautious with Randle since he has been such a big part of their offense this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (thumb) is considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran is dealing with a sore thumb on his shooting hand. If he can't shake off the injury, Randle would be out for the first time this campaign. There is also a question mark hanging over Anthony Edwards (foot), so Minnesota's attack could have a completely different look on Saturday. Randle's departure from the lineup would likely mean larger roles for Naz Reid and Jaylen Clark.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle has signed a new long term extension with the organization. Randle has agreed to a three-year, $100 million deal to stay in Minnesota. The Wolves have now locked up Randle and Naz Reid in just a few days. Randle is coming off a strong postseason where he carried the offense at times. He did see his regular season stats take a hit with the move to Minnesota. He averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 32.3 minutes per game across 69 games last season. The fact Reid is remaining in the mix means Randle will probably produce similar stats going forward. Randle won't be the focal point on offense, but can be a reliable contributor.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/centers Naz Reid and Julius Randle are both expected to be back in Minnesota next season, according to coach Chris Finch on Friday. Finch said, "Absolutely, yes," he expects both players on the roster next season, even though both have player options. Earlier reports this offseason indicate that Reid is likely to opt out of his deal, which is not a surprise since he could likely get a much bigger deal if he signs a new contract. It sounds like Finch expects him to re-sign with the Wolves, although it would be fascinating to see him in a bigger role with a new team from a fantasy perspective. If both return to Minnesota, Reid will likely serve as the team's sixth man again in 2025-26 and be the primary backup for both Randle and Rudy Gobert.

According to Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly, there is a belief that forward Julius Randle will remain with the team. The 30-year-old appeared in only 46 contests due to a shoulder injury in his final season with the Knicks. He was then traded to Minnesota last offseason in the deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. While Randle managed to appear in 69 games during the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged only 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds, his lowest marks since his last year with the Los Angeles Lakers back in 2017-18. The 2014 No. 7 overall pick has until June 29 to decide if he will opt in to his nearly $31 million player option. But considering the landscape of available funds for most teams around the National Basketball Association, many believe he will. There's also a chance he could agree to a new contract. With that in mind, Randle may not be as productive as he once was, but he's still capable of playing at an All-Star level, and a bounce-back season is certainly possible, especially if he stays with the Timberwolves.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle led his squad with 24 points in Wednesday's disappointing 124-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which ended the team's season. Randle finished 8-for-14 from the field and went 4-for-6 from three-point land, adding five rebounds, three assists, and one steal to his tally. The 30-year-old impressed through the first two series during the postseason but had a tough time against the Thunder, finishing two games with single-digit scoring. A second consecutive trip to the Western Conference Finals shows that Minnesota's move to acquire Randle worked out well, though he did not reach the level of play that earned him All-Star honors in New York. Randle's numbers dipped across the board, as he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists across 69 regular-season appearances.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle maintained his hot hand in Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder but couldn't save his squad from a 114-88 defeat. The former Knick put up a team-high 28 points on 9-for-13 shooting, tallying eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Randle made five triples with six attempts but also committed five turnovers in the game. While Randle has been hot offensively in the postseason, his ball-handling has been poor in recent games, with this being his fourth consecutive outing with at least four turnovers. Against a top team like the Thunder, Minnesota cannot afford any sloppiness in its game, and Randle must lead the way alongside Anthony Edwards.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle scored a game-high 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting as the team eliminated the Golden State Warriors from the playoffs with a 121-110 win on Wednesday. It was a slow start for Randle, who managed only five points in the opening frame, but he impressed throughout the series, and Golden State struggled to contain him once again. The three-time All-Star shot 2-for-6 from three-point range and added eight rebounds and five assists to his line. While Randle did plenty of offensive damage against the Warriors, averaging 25.2 points per game, he must improve his ball-handling in the Western Conference Finals. He gave up the rock at least three times in four of five games, committing a total of 18 turnovers.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle posted a game-high 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Monday's 117-110 win over the Golden State Warriors. The three-time All-Star finished 4-for-8 from behind the arc and recorded five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block as Minnesota jumped to a 3-1 lead in the series. The Timberwolves are now just one win away from reaching their second consecutive Conference Finals, with Randle playing a significant role in the team's success. After a quiet performance in the series opener, which Minnesota lost 99-88 on home court, Randle has averaged 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.3 steals over the past three games.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle posted a team-high 27 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's 94-85 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. After settling for 16 points in the series opener, Randle already had 15 points by halftime and finished with his postseason career high, making 2-for-4 from deep and 7-for-9 at the line. Randle had a major role as a playmaker as well, registering six of Minnesota's 14 assists in the game. He also notched four rebounds, one steal, and one block. As a former Laker, success in the matchup would be especially meaningful for Randle, and he has started the series well. Ahead of Game 3, the 30-year-old boasts a 60 percent success rate from three-point range, with averages of 21.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The former Knick missed time because of a groin injury. Fortunately, he returned for the March 2 meeting with the Suns. He played well in that one, finishing with 20 points before dropping 16 points on the Sixers on Tuesday night. With that said, Randle is a must-start for the favorable matchup versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. The former Knick missed 13 games because of a groin injury. But he was back in the lineup for Sunday's win over Phoenix, amassing 20 points and six boards in 33 minutes. With Minnesota playing back-to-back contests on Tuesday and Wednesday, it's possible Randle misses one of those contests. As a result, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 40.6% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (groin) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. The 30-year-old missed the last 13 games because of a groin injury. But he'll be back in the lineup, which is great news, considering Minnesota is still without Rudy Gobert (back). It will likely take Randle a few games to return to form. Still, fantasy managers should add him back to their starting lineups. With that said, Randle's return will likely result in less work for Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Also, Naz Reid, who had 27 points in the loss to Utah on Friday, may not be as productive with Randle and Anthony Edwards (calf) on the floor.
