The New York Knicks have been on a dream run, registering a 4-game winning streak. In the process, the team toppled two powerhouse teams like Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers. And their latest victory against the Washington Wizards has led to an unfortunate stat for Julius Randle. Moreover, he jokingly hit back at a reporter with profanity for reminding him about the stat.

Randle holds the spot for the second offensive leader for the current Knicks roster. He has been consistently averaging above 20 points ever since he moved to the NY side in 2019. On the other hand, he also registered an impressive record when it comes to rebounds and assists. Despite his dominant presence in the team’s roster, an unfortunate stat left the 29-year-old star disappointed.
