    Randle had started the first 77 games of the season before spraining the ankle on March 29 in a victory over Miami. He sat out the remainder of the regular season, then returned for the Knicks' playoff opener against Cleveland.

    Randle was struggling in that series before limping off after spraining the ankle again in the Knicks' Game 5 victory in Cleveland to win the series. He sat out Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat before returning to play the final five games. Randle shot just 3 for 14 when the Knicks were eliminated in Game Six at Miami, though wouldn't say during the postseason if the ankle was still bothering him.

    An All-Star for the second time in three seasons, Randle finished with 25.1 points, 10 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
