In 2023-24, Randle made 46 regular-season appearances before dislocating his right shoulder in the fourth quarter of a double-digit win over the Heat on January 27. He initially tried to avoid surgery and return for the Knicks' playoff run but was ultimately shut down in early April. New York was one of the most active teams this offseason, adding Mikal Bridges, re-signing OG Anunoby, parting ways with Isaiah Hartenstein and trading Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Timberwolves. Randle remains in a build-up process ahead of training camp with his new squad, and it's unclear what his role will be in Minnesota. Anthony Edwards is the undisputed go-to guy, Mike Conley is an old-school point guard and Rudy Gobert protects the paint, leaving Jaden McDaniels and DiVincenzo to split time on the wings. When healthy, Randle can be one of the best one-on-one players in the NBA. However, he may not see as much usage as he's used to, especially if the Timberwolves give Naz Reid a larger role in Towns' absence.
