The operation took place at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital and has been carried out successfully under the supervision of the Real Madrid Medical Services. Randolph will begin his recovery period shortly. He's expected to miss at least six months of action and be sidelined until the end of 2022.

A few minutes before the halftime break in Game 1, Randolph fell down in a defensive situation with Nikola Mirotic, before leaving the court injured after spraining his knee. Fans at Palau Blaugrana gave him an ovation as a gesture of support.

After the Achilles Tendon injury from last season, which sidelined him for almost a year, Randolph has suffered another big injury again.

He averaged 3.1 points, 1.9 rebound and 3.5 PIR over 20 EuroLeague games this season.

During his best season in 2018-19, Randolph posted averages of 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 13.8 PIR in 33 EuroLeague games for Real Madrid.
