Julius Randle understood Tom Thibodeau’s decision when it came to the All-Star forward watching the entire fourth quarter of the Knicks’ Game 4 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Forty-eight hours later, in his first public comments since the benching, Randle said he didn’t have a problem with it.
“We won the game,” he said on Tuesday, before the Knicks flew out to Cleveland for what they hope will be a series-clinching victory in Game 5.Randle said his sprained left ankle, which Thibodeau felt was part of his shaky performance on Sunday on such a short turnaround, is fine. Randle, who missed the final five games of the regular season with the injury, practiced fully on Tuesday.
As for his effort in the third quarter, which appeared to be lacking on the defensive end, Randle declined to address it.
