His NBA rookie debut lasted slightly less than 14 minutes before Julius Randle suffered something that has become uncomfortably familiar with the Lakers.
Randle suffered an injury, a fractured tibia in his right leg that kept him out for the 2014-15 season. Since then, Randle has made some slow and steady progress that has entailed completing non-contact drills for the past three weeks.
