What a weird start of the season for rookies this year. It’s not often we see two potential rookie of the year candidates go down with season-ending injuries in the first half of the season. But that was the case with Julius Randle and Jabari Parker.
In the case of Randle, he suffered a broken leg on opening night, but also needs foot surgery too, which is unrelated to his broken leg. Let’s hope this is nothing to worry about with him going forward.
Lakers forward Julius Randle will undergo surgery on Tuesday morning to replace the screw in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The surgery will be performed by Dr. David Thordarson of the Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedic Center.
It was previously declared that Randle would miss the remainder of the 2014-15 season after suffering a fractured tibia of his right leg in the season opener on October 28.
