Julius Randle is coming off a season where he made his third NBA All-Star Game.

Earlier this month, Randle was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He had spent the previous five years with the New York Knicks.

After missing the team's first three preseason games, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports that Randle will suit up against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening.

Via Haynes: "All-Star forward Julius Randle will make his Minnesota Timberwolves debut Wednesday in a preseason bout with the Chicago Bulls, league sources relay."

@sig_50: "Julius Randle to debut this week for the Timberwolves!:

Very excited to see the initial mesh between all of their offensive options. It’ll certainly improve over time and across the season but the first-look will still be intriguing."
