Julius Randle 2024 Issued All-Star Practice Jersey

This 2024 All-Star Game practice jersey was issued to Julius Randle on February 18, 2024, during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.

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’ faith in Randle soon proved prescient, with Randle averaging a double-double in only 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 as well as 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.  

At the time of cataloging, Randle has career averages of 19.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Randle is a 3-time NBA All-Star and earned the 2021 Most Improved Player Award.
