NBL star Randle out 2-3 weeks

Star Adelaide point guard Jerome Randle has avoided serious damage to his knee but will spend at least two weeks off the NBL courts.

Injured Adelaide 36ers star Jerome Randle is expected to be fit to play in the NBL finals series - so long as his team can qualify without him.

The 36ers got good news on Monday when scans revealed no structural damage to the American point guard's knee from the knock suffered in Saturday's win over the Illawarra Hawks.

However Randle is set to miss two to three weeks, which would rule him out of the team's remaining four regular season games.

The 36ers are currently fourth on the ladder, two wins ahead of the defending champion New Zealand Breakers, with the top four teams advancing to the finals series.

The high-scoring Randle has been arguably the most influential player in the league since arriving to join the 36ers early in the season and was favoured to win the NBL MVP award.

"Thank you all for the support and prayers.....scary situation for me and my family, glad 2 see there are real fans n support," Randle tweeted on Monday.
