The Minnesota Timberwolves picked up a dominant 138-113 road win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night, but the celebration was dampened by unfortunate Julius Randle news. The Timberwolves forward exited the game in the second quarter with a right groin injury, dealing a potential blow to his team’s season.

With the February 6 NBA trade deadline quickly approaching, it certainly appears that Julius Randle isn't going to be dealt. The latest evidence to support that notion comes from longtime Minnesota sports insider Darren Wolfson.
Julius Randle could be a target for the Miami Heat as they continue to explore trade destinations for Jimmy Butler.
No matter how badly the Phoenix Suns may want Jimmy Butler, there just doesn't seem to be a viable way for them to get him. Nobody wants the Bradley Beal contract. Even if someone did, Beal himself doesn't seem eager to drop his no-trade clause to help the Suns dump him.
The Jimmy Butler-Heat saga got more interesting. Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is on Miami’s radar and has been since the offseason, SNY’s Ian Begley reported Tuesday. The Knicks parted ways with Randle before the season started in a trade that brought Karl Anthony-Towns to New York.
Julius Randle speaks about the Knicks trade to the Timberwolves and reflects on his time in New York and his new journey in Minnesota.
Randle played a secondary role in the Timberwolves’ 116-99 win, taking a backseat in the spotlight as Anthony Edwards dazzled with 36 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.
NBA rumors link Julius Randle to a potential Jimmy Butler trade involving the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat.
Forward Nickeil Alexander-Walker said after the game that coach Finch, "woke up choosing violence" and added that he's been yelling at everybody. Anthony Edwards also commented on his ejection, saying, "I think he went to sleep last night with violence on his mind."
The Minnesota Timberwolves have one of the hottest names on the trade market with Julius Randle. The trade deadline is next week, which means Minnesota is expected to be actively shopping the 30-year-old forward. According to SNY reporter Ian Begley, the Miami Heat have some interest in acquiring Randle.
