Knicks forward Julius Randle will not return to Wednesday night’s game against the Miami Heat after suffering a sprained left ankle, the team announced.
Randle fell awkwardly on Heat center Bam Adebayo’s foot with 2:38 left in the first half while going up for an offensive rebound. He remained down for a while, then started to limp off to the locker room before reversing course and returning to shoot his free throws. He missed the first free throw, made the second and then left the court for good.
“New York is home for me. It’s a place that I’ve established as home. I want to be a part of the city and give back, show the city love.”

“I would love to be able to do this again, and again, and again, because you guys are our future. There’s no better investment than investing in you guys.”
