Julius Randle (ankle) expected to play Game 1 vs. Cavaliers

The New York Knicks may be at full strength after all for their first-round playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ian Begley of SNY reports star forward Julius Randle will play in Game 1 barring a setback during pregame warmups. Randle has not played since spraining his ankle in the Knicks’ 101-92 win over the Heat on March 29.

Barring an unexpected issue during his pre-game warmups, NYK’s Julius Randle will play in Game 1 vs Cavs, per SNY sources. Randle would be playing for first time since his left ankle sprain in late March.
