The attitude at the end of the Lakers-Rockets game was a very somber one after Julius Randle went down with an apparent serious leg injury. Later confirmed to be a broken leg, many Lakers and players around the league took to Twitter and Instagram to wish Randle a speedy recovery.
“My heart goes out to the Brodie @juliusrandle30 hope for a speed recovery, many prayers sent your way, just wait for the beast to return.”
“Praying for a speedy recovery young fella.. Keep yo head up @juliusrandle30 I hate injuries ..”
“Sending Our Prayers Out For Our Lil’ Bro @juliusrandle30… We Here For You Bro!!! #holdat”

It’s always tough to see a player go down like Randle, but to see the rallying of support from his teammates and NBA brethren is always a sight to see.
Obviously this marks a tough time for the Lakers, who have now lost their second player for the season due to injury, Randle joining Steve Nash on the sideline for the year. Succumbing to injury is hard enough as is, but having a dream taken away from you as is the case with Randle makes it hard to stomach the situation.
We wish Julius all the best in his recovery.
