The Knicks' Julius Randle has been fined $50,000 for an on-court altercation that resulted in the Suns' Cam Johnson making contact with an official, according to the NBA. 

After a rough start to the 2021-22 season, Randle has played well of late, averaging 25.2 points, 11.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game through 10 games in February.

Despite Randle's recent resurgence, the Knicks are unlikely to make the playoffs -- or even qualify for the play-in tournament. The Knicks are 25-38. New York has won only four of their past 10 games and are currently six games behind the 10th seed Atlanta Hawks.
