After Edwards shot the 3 with time winding down, Julius Randle could be seen on ESPN's cameras making his way towards the locker room. A review had held up the final inbounds play, but Randle was already on his way out of the tunnel, and he's been the subject of criticism for his early exit and body language during crunch time in Wednesday's game.

Julius Randle speaks about the Knicks trade to the Timberwolves and reflects on his time in New York and his new journey in Minnesota.

For the 2024/25 season of the NBA, Julius Randle began a new chapter with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The player was traded from the New York Knicks in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns. Over half a year later, Randle still bitterly remembers his departure from the Knicks. "It was crap," the player stated in comments recorded by the New York Post.
