Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle will be sidelined at least through the All-Star break with a strained right groin he suffered last week. The Timberwolves announced Wednesday before their game against Chicago that Randle will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Julius Randle, who has been the Timberwolves' second leading scorer since coming to the team in an preseason trade, will be sidelined at least two more weeks because of a groin injury. The 30-year-old forward has been out since he left a game on Jan. 30 against the Utah Jazz because of what the team called a right groin strain.

"This deal gives the Hawks a genuine co-star on offense for Trae Young, providing an interesting two-man game that could be beneficial for Randle and the Hawks. The Timberwolves land better-fitting role-players around Edwards who will hit shots and bolster the team's rotation, while also landing the Wolves another valuable draft asset."
