He broke his leg. That was such a freak accident. He plants his right leg and begins to jump. His left legs actually kicks his right leg from behind, and because his right foot gets jammed at the base against a Rockets player's foot, his leg cant give way and the pressure just snaps his bone.
Yea, it's a total freak accident. D-Mo unfortunately steps forward at the worst moment and at the worst spot...blocks off Randle's foot so his foot can't be kicked forward. Poor kid... seriously a freak accident.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--uk-s-julius-randle-likely-needs-foot-surgery-that-could-keep-him-out-until-training-camp-065608753-nba.html he was already injured before his draft...
cyberex said the fakers planted this apparently fictitious report so randle would drop and fall to them in the draft at the #7 spot. oh the irony.
Randle was the highest pick for the Lakers since James Worthy. Worthy also broke his leg his rookie year...unlucky
Wow, I didn't notice that during any of the replays last night, you can really see the middle of his leg bend. I guess it's easier to see if you know what the injury is.
