Overview

• Randle told The Athletic he was “miserable” at the end of his Knicks stint, isolating at home and losing joy in his work.
• He acknowledged self-medicating with marijuana before his wife, Kendra, arranged care with psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen, who helped him quit and manage anxiety and depression.
• A season-ending right shoulder dislocation in January 2024 left him feeling the team had moved on as the Knicks advanced without him.
• Days before the 2024–25 season, New York traded Randle (with Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick) to Minnesota for Karl-Anthony Towns.
• In his first Timberwolves season he averaged 18.7 points with a run to the Western Conference Finals, then signed a three-year, $100 million deal and said he is the happiest he has been in years.
