The season is over for Robinson, a big blow for the Knicks
Bad news for the Knicks after Mitchell Robinson was ruled out for the rest of the season with a left ankle injury, which derailed the team’s plan.
The Knicks will be without Mitchell Robinson until the end of the season. New York’s starting center’s ankle injury problem has proven to be far more serious than initially thought, meaning he is not expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks (which was originally planned), but is expected to return to play in the 2024-25 season.
The loss of Robinson is huge for the Knicks, as the 26-year-old center averaged 6.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 29 minutes of play this year, making him the leading rebounder and stealer “ and was the team’s blocker. but also their best defender.
The Knicks have already applied to the NBA for the disability extension, which is granted to a team if it loses a player throughout the season. With Mitchell out of action, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jericho Sims and Taz Gibson will man the center position.
