Julius Randle’s recent trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves has sparked a positive response from his family. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Randle’s mother, Carolyn Kyles, shared a photo of him sporting a new haircut and beard, celebrating the move with the caption: “New chapter new hair cut and beard! Proud of you Ju @juliusrandle30 Let’s go Wolves!”
Randle’s wife, Kendra, also embraced the trade, posting a photoshopped image of him in a Timberwolves uniform along with five heart emojis. She later expressed excitement about the new team, calling it “scary hours: Minnesota here we come” in her Instagram stories.
The trade marks a significant transition for Randle, who had a successful five-year tenure with the Knicks, earning three All-Star selections and leading the team to three postseason appearances. Last season, he averaged 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists before a shoulder injury ended his season early. With the trade, he joins the Timberwolves as they look to build a competitive roster alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, who is moving to the Knicks as part of the three-team deal.
