The Los Angeles Lakers had unusually low expectations coming into this season, and now they've dropped even lower. Rookie big man Julius Randle will miss most of the season due to a broken leg suffered on this play against the Houston Rockets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-2Ahy2In30#t=10
Julius Randle surgery this am. Tibia rodding. Expect full recovery after 4-6 months. @JamesWorthy42 had similar injury as @Lakers rookie. — David J. Chao, MD (@ProFootballDoc) October 29, 2014
Randle played only 13 minutes and had two points in his NBA debut before the injury. Reserve forward Ryan Kelly will likely replace Randle in the rotation.
