Summary
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson suffered a broken right pinky and his return timetable has not been set, according to multiple reports. Robinson averaged 4.5 points and 5.8 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per game in the Eastern Conference Finals sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks await the Western Conference Finals winner, which could be the Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Knicks are already dealing with injuries, and now they’re facing the possibility of losing another key player in Robinson.
This could be a big blow to their chances in the NBA Finals.
The team will be relying on Ariel Hukporti to fill the gap left by Robinson, but he’s not exactly a proven commodity.
The real test will come when the Knicks face off against the Thunder or Spurs, both of whom have formidable big men.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end. The Knicks have been dealing with injuries all season, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time before another key player goes down.
