Randle left Tuesday's game against the Rockets on a stretcher in the fourth quarter and has been diagnosed with a fractured right tibia, the Lakers' official site reports.

Analysis:

This is a bitter blow for the seventh overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft and projects to miss several months, although an exact timeline will not be known until Randle undergoes further evaluation Wednesday. In all redraft leagues, Randle can be dropped, and Carlos Boozer becomes a must-own in all formats, while Ed Davis looks to gain some value for deeper leagues. Randle scored just two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 FT) in 13 minutes in his debut game.
