Point guard Chasson Randle didn’t think it was anything after taking an elbow to the face from Lou Amundson during the Knicks training-camp scrimmage Oct. 14.
“No I didn’t,” Randle told The Post on Monday. “I felt a little bit of pain. But I took a second, got up and thought everything was fine. I went to blow my nose the next day and my eyes swelled up.”
X-rays were taken and the diagnosis ultimately cost Randle his spot on the Knicks’ 15-man roster. A fractured orbital bone. Out one month.
After being all but assured of a roster spot, Randle got released — but the Knicks felt he could make it back on the roster later in the season if he rejoined their D-League affiliate.
