In the final four minutes of the New York Knicks' game against the Miami Heat on Saturday, Julius Randle injured his right shoulder and was forced to exit the contest.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski later reported that the injury was actually a dislocated shoulder and that there is no timetable for Randle's return.
An X-ray was performed after the Knicks' 125-109 victory over the Heat, and no further damage was visible. The team, however, is awaiting the results of an MRI to get a better idea of the extent of the injury and how much time Randle will miss.
Randle has been a key contributor to New York's 12-2 run since the new year began. In addition to averaging 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists per game, Randle's name has been in the mix for a potential All-Star nod this year.
"It was an, 'Oh s***' reaction," guard Jalen Brunson said via ESPN. "We don't want to see that from anybody, especially him with how he's been playing. He means a lot to us. So for him to go back there, obviously it's not ideal."
Randle sustained the injury as he drove to the basket and Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. positioned himself to take a charge. Randle laid on the hardwood for several moments grimacing in pain and only got up with the help of his teammates.
What caught his teammates and New York head coach Tom Thibodeau's attention, though, was the fact that Randle didn't allow his teammates to touch his right arm. The team trainer came over to Randle and appeared to try to help the 29-year old pop the shoulder back in, and Randle resigned himself to being unable to shoot his free throws. The 10-year veteran jogged back into the locker room.
"You knew for him to do that [it might be serious]," said Thibodeau, who spoke before the team had a clear sense of how bad the injury was. "He's a guy who plays through things, and that's what you love about him. He's a warrior."

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
