Mitchell Robinson is set to be available for the New York Knicks in Game 1 on Wednesday after returning to practice Tuesday following hand surgery.
Robinson’s availability provides the Knicks with an important interior presence as they open their postseason series. The center has been a key part of New York’s frontcourt when healthy, contributing size, rim protection and rebounding.
Robinson Returns to Practice
Robinson practiced Tuesday, marking a significant step in his recovery from the hand procedure. With Game 1 scheduled for Wednesday, the Knicks will have him available as they begin the series.
The Knicks have dealt with injuries throughout the season, and Robinson’s return gives the coaching staff added flexibility in the frontcourt rotation. His presence could help New York maintain depth inside as the playoff matchup gets underway.
