This is the first regular season jersey worn by Julius Randle on the Minnesota Timberwolves. This away ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Julius Randle on October 22, 2024, during the Kia NBA Tip-Off, when the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Los Angeles Lakers.
Randle finished with 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Timberwolves lost to the Lakers, 110-103.
Julius Randle’s promise as an NBA player was clear from his single season at the University of Kentucky. In the 2013-2014 campaign, Randle averaged a double-double, with 15 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while helping Kentucky reach the National Championship Game. Randle was drafted 7th in the 1st round of the 2014 NBA Draft. Despite a devastating injury in his debut, the Lakers remained patient. Randle would recover and averaged a double-double in his second season.
After two more strong seasons in LA, Randle signed with the Pelicans, where he notched his first scoring average of over 20 points. After a season in New Orleans, Randle signed with the New York Knicks, and in the Big Apple Randle blossomed.
Randle led the Knicks to their first playoff appearance in eight seasons in 2020-2021, was named an All-Star, NBA Most Improved Player, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. After teaming up with Jalen Brunson, Randle was again named an All-Star in 2023 and earned a place on the All-NBA 3rd Team. He and Brunson led the Knicks to their first playoff win in a decade when the Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Before the 2024-25 season, Randle was traded to the Timberwolves as part of a blockbuster deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks. The Timberwolves hope their new trio in Randle, Anthony Edwards, and Rudy Gobert can lead them to their first NBA Finals in franchise history.
At the time of cataloging, Randle has career averages of 19.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Randle is a 3-time NBA All-Star and earned the 2021 Most Improved Player Award.
