What a terrible, just awful start to the NBA career of Julius Randle. The Los Angeles Lakers forward, who went #7 overall in the draft from the University of Kentucky suffered a broken leg in the blowout home loss to the Houston Rockets in the season opener. There were questions about the health of his foot on draft night, but now he’s got a bigger issue.
Julius Randle will be missing for some time.
