As we might have feared, the bad news finally came For Mitchell Robinsonwho will miss the rest of the adventure that the Knicks are currently experiencing, until the end of the playoffs.
While the New York pivot had already been ruled out of Game 2, a “stress fracture” in his left ankle put an end to his last hopes of returning to 100% by the end of the season. financial year 2023/24. According to the medical staff, his ankle will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks. That is to say at best the end of June.
The pivot has been bothered by his left ankle all season, with an operation in December which cost him 50 matches. Having returned gradually since the end of March, he had not regained 100% of his abilities, which required periods of rest to spare him. We imagine that the mistake of Joel Embiid, who had caught him by the leg, causing an uncontrolled fall by Mitchell Robinson in Game 3 against the Sixers, did not help either.
During Game 1, he was only able to play 12 minutes, finishing with 2 points and 2 rebounds. While Julius Randle and Bojan Bogdanovic are also in the infirmary, Tom Thibodeau will have to resolve to use the Hartenstein-Achiuwa pair at position 5 to end the season.
