Knicks All-Star Julius Randle Joins Legendary Patrick Ewing in Elite Company After Massive Franchise Milestone

Entering the game without Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks saw his replacement in Miles McBride; who scored a career-high 19 points. Despite GG Jackson’s impressive 20-point performance leading the under-manned Memphis Grizzlies, the efforts of three other starters in double digits were not sufficient. The Knicks emerged victorious with a score of 106-94. Notably, the smaller Grizzlies lineup proved no match for New York as Julius Randle led the squad in the absence of their leading scorer.

Randle dominated on both ends of the court, posting 24 points and 11 rebounds, to control the game. Additionally, Randle’s performance brought him closer to the legendary Patrick Ewing, further solidifying his presence near the Knicks icon.

Julius Randle nears Patrick Ewing for a 20/10 stat line

Following his performance against the Memphis Grizzlies, Julius Randle inches closer to Patrick Ewing for the most games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. Furthermore, he now holds the record for the most games with at least 20/10 in the last 25 years.

Throughout his 15 seasons, Ewing amassed an impressive 428 games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks. In comparison, Randle has notched up 103 such games. The Knicks legend, Carmelo Anthony, comes in third with 65 games to his name.

Despite Ewing’s significant lead in this stat, the potential to surpass him for this prestigious feat rests squarely on Randle’s shoulders.

Despite his rise, the Knicks are willing to trade Randle

Having signed a new contract with the New York Knicks in 2021, Julius Randle has since become a consistent force within the franchise. Furthermore, he has showcased significant improvement over time. Moreover, his will and determination to lead the team and elevate his game has only intensified.

As a result, the Knicks enjoy one of the desired spots in the Eastern Conference this year. However, despite a satisfactory season, the franchise is open to significant changes within its roster. Insider Brandon Robinson reports that the Knicks are willing to entertain trade offers for Julius Randle. However, the specifics of what they seek in return remain unclear.

Given Randle’s substantial contributions, it’s safe to assume that the asking price will be huge. Additionally, the Knicks might be exploring potential trades to gauge the value of their all-star caliber player around the league; with hopes of discovering a promising prospect in the process.

For the 2023-24 campaign, Randle is maintaining an average of 24.4 points and 9.2 rebounds. Furthermore, speculations regarding achieving his all-star status have also emerged to highlight his contributions.
