Kendra Randle reacts publicly after Julius Randle’s $100M Minnesota Timberwolves contract
On Sunday, June 29, 2025, ESPN reported that Julius Randle had signed a new three-year contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves worth $100 million. The deal includes a player option for the third year.
Just a few hours after the news came out, Kendra Randle shared a simple but powerful message. She reposted a story from a family friend on Instagram with the caption “Thank you” and a white heart emoji. It was the first public reaction from the Randle family and quickly caught attention online.
Julius Randle came to Minnesota earlier this year after a trade with the New York Knicks. That trade sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. Randle decided not to test free agency and instead signed this new deal to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The team acted fast with this offer, just two days after re-signing center Naz Reid.
Randle is now expected to be one of the key players leading Minnesota into the 2025-26 NBA season.

When Julius Randle first joined the Minnesota Timberwolves, things didn’t go smoothly. 30 -year -old tip struggled to keep up with the fast playing style. He also missed games due to a groin injury early in the season.
But in February 2025, he came and found the rhythm slowly. From that point on, he helped the Minnesota Timberwolves win. The team went 26-10 in the 36 games Randle played, including playoffs. In the regular season, he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists.
In the playoffs, Randle was even better. Against the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, he scored 23.9 points, grabbed 5.9 rebounds, and gave 5.9 assists per game. He also shot 51% from the field. On defense, he held his own against top players like Draymond Green.
“He played like a leader,” a Timberwolves insider told The Athletic. “He brought control and strength when we needed it.”
