Julius Randle posts goodbye to New York after Knicks tenure ends with Karl-Anthony Towns trade
By Christian ArnoldJulius Randle said goodbye to New York with a simple message Sunday night.
“NEW YORK! THANK YOU,” Randle wrote in a post on Instagram, along with a photo of him playing at the Garden, just days after news broke of the blockbuster deal that is sending the forward out of town for star Karl-Anthony Towns.
Reports of the massive deal broke late Friday night, and the complicated trade involved sending Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, DaQuan Jeffries and a first-round draft pick to Minnesota for Towns.
The deal has not officially been completed as of Sunday, and ESPN reported the expectation is the trade would be completed “early this week.”
He had also been a two-time All-NBA selection as a Knick.
The Knicks star had just recently been at a groundbreaking ceremony of the Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School in the South Bronx last Wednesday, and he and his family had been in attendance at the Sept. 21 New York City FC match against Inter Miami at Yankee Stadium.
Following the news, Randle’s wife, Kendra, posted a goodbye message to her Instagram story.
“Forever grateful for this experience. New York was amazing to our family,” Kendra wrote. “[Son] Kye Kye grew up in the garden. We got here when he was 1.5 years old and this year he will be 8. So many of you embraced him/us and made this experience unforgettable and I’m forever grateful. Bittersweet moment but so excited for a new, healthy chapter for our family.”
A number of Knicks fans have also posted messages of thanks to Randle for his time with the team, which included a lengthy post on X by actor and noted Knicks fan Ben Stiller.
“Through it all his commitment to the community and the team was and is undeniable,” part of Stiller’s post read. “Grateful for his time here. He is an all star and we’re lucky to have had him. Wish him all the best in Minnesota, he is going to bring a lot of toughness and grit and dedication to that team and community.”

The official box score of Women's Soccer vs St. John's on 9/29/2024
Queens, N.Y. — Down 2-0 at halftime, the Seton Hall women's soccer team rallied with two goals in the second half from freshman Olivia Beauvois (Windsor, Conn.) and sophomore Megan Twomey (Oakland, N.J.) that gave the Pirates a 2-2 draw with St. John's and a point in BIG EAST play on Sunday afternoon.
The Pirates (3-6-3, 0-1-2 BIG EAST) earn their a point on the road against St. John's for the first time since 2000 when they came away with three points in a 1-0 win.
Beauvois was assisted on her goal by senior Phoebe Hampson (Chesire, England) and senior Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.). The equalizer was headed in by Twomey off of a corner kick taken by Tavana, giving her two assists on the day.
How It Happened
Both teams adjusted to the slippery and damp conditions on the turf at Belson Stadium as Tavana registered the Pirates' first shot of the game just past the five minute mark in the first half. St. John's struck first in the 18th minute and would double their tally in the 25th minute.
Despite the score, both sides had seven shots in the first 45 minutes and the Pirates had a 3-2 edge in shots on target. Seton Hall continued its pursuit of ending its scoring drought, racking up five shots and drawing two corner kicks through the first 13 minutes of the second half while holding St. John's shotless.
The Pirates' persistence was rewarded following a second ball opportunity off of a corner kick in the 63rd minute. Tavana possessed and surveyed from 10 yards outside the box before sending in a pass that found Hampson and landed at the feet of Beauvois who converted her first career goal and made it 2-1 in favor of the Red Storm.
The Pirates continued to be the aggressor by winning 50-50 balls and staying organized defensively. Twomey entered the second half in the 80th minute and she helped the Pirates equalize five minutes later. Tavana stepped up to take the Pirates' fifth corner of the day and she sent a strike into the scoring area where it found the head of Twomey who scored and knotted up the contest at 2-2.
