Lakers: Julius Randle Updates His Recovery (Video)
By Jacob Rude
Lakers’ rookie Julius Randle spoke on his injury, the recovery, and getting out of his “pity party” in his first public appearance since suffering a broken leg.
Here’s a video of the interview shown on Time Warner Cable, with snippets of the press conference down below.
Randle talked about the moment he hurt himself, saying that he knew right away what the injury was.
However, despite the severity of the injury and the devastating nature of it, Randle was ready to start the recovery immediately.
Naturally, as a 19-year old, the injury was tough to recover from, and Randle had to be pulled out of his “pity party” by the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant. In fact, Tuesday’s press conference was his first venture out of his house since suffering the injury a week ago.
Now, the Kentucky product is focused on his recovery, which will be a slow one considering the nature of the injury. However, it appears Randle is in the right spirits so far.
Luckily for Randle, he has a great support system around him, namely Bryant, who is coming off his own broken leg and season-ending injury. For now, it seems like Randle is ready for the road to recovery, but maintaining that mindset over the long haul is the challenge.
