New York Knicks Star Targeting Return In Game 1 Of The Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs are finally underway, with the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers both punching their ticket into the playoffs on Tuesday night, and on Saturday, the second playoff run in the past three years for the New York Knicks begins.

They'll take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, beginning on Saturday in what should be a fantastic series, and if recent reports are anything to go by, it appears that they'll have their leader Julius Randle back, or at the very least, he is trying his best to get to that point.

After a down year in 2021/22, Randle has bounced back in a big way, playing in 77 games, putting up 25 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists on the season, and if Jalen Brunson and the rest of this talented young cast can stand up around him, we'll be looking at a tough team to beat.
