Mitch Kupchak: "It looks like Julius Randle has recovered completely"

The Lakers general manager updated Bleacher Report on the pace of the team's rebuild, and the rehabilitation progress of the power forward so important to it.

Mitch Kupchak told Ethan J. Skolnick and Howard Beck of Bleacher Report Radio on Sirius XM Sunday morning that "it looks like Julius Randle has recovered completely." The rookie power forward and seventh overall pick for the Lakers in the 2014 NBA draft played just 13 minutes and 36 seconds in his regular season debut before breaking his leg. While he was out, the team and Randle decided to replace the screw in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.
