Bad news from New York. While just returning from injury, Mitchell Robinson injured his ankle. The pivot will miss 6 to 8 weeks of competition.
Oh the hard blow for Tom Thibodeau. Already the coach is pulling the string with the playing time of his starters, now he must deprive himself of (another) man of confidence for the rest of the Playoffs. The Athletic announces in fact that Robinson will not be able to return to competition for 6 to 8 weeks. Suffice to say that his season is over. It is unfortunately a story that repeats itself for the interior, which was only able to play 31 regular matches this year.
Knicks say Mitchell Robinson sustained a stress injury to his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in 6 to 8 weeks.

The Knicks roster is getting thinner and thinner as time goes by. Julius Randle was already withdrawn in the first round. He was later joined by Bojan Bogdanovic and now Mitchell Robinson. Despite his regular injuries this season, Robinson has been an important element of New York’s success via his defensive impact, his screens, his verticality and his contribution to rebounding. It was turning at 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 24 minutes this season. Isaiah Hartenstein risks having big minutes to manage at the end of the Playoffs.
