Julius Randle could need foot surgery after draft
University of Kentucky forward Julius Randle, considered a top 10 pick, likely needs surgery on his right foot after the NBA draft in June.
The procedure is expected to keep Randle out six to eight weeks this summer, sources said, but there's a strong expectation within front offices that he'll be cleared for the start of training camp in the fall.
His draft stock isn't expected to be impacted because of the surgery, league executives said. Several executives said they considered this a minor issue.
