Get well soon JR
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a crucial blow to start their season on opening day, when their first round draft Pick Julius Randle broke his leg on a routine play to the hoop. The Kentucky Wildcat played 13 minutes before ending his season, after what was supposed to be a promising year and rebuild season for the Lakers.
His long road to recovery from a broken tibia has been tough, but he’s had the support and help from none other than Kobe Bryant, who has been encouraging Randle and pushing him to do his best. From rehab of the leg to training, JR is giving is 100%, even when times seem tough. He says that this experience has helped him study the game and gave him even more motivation to get back next year and help the team.
