Knicks get brutal Mitchell Robinson injury update
NY Post
Mitchell Robinson’s season is already delayed due to injury.
The Knicks center, whose biggest issue as a pro is staying healthy, hasn’t recovered from his left foot surgery and is targeting a December/January return, a league source confirmed Monday.
The Knicks, according to an NBA source, are being careful not to rush Robinson back until he’s 100 percent healthy, meaning it could be a longer absence depending on the 26-year-old’s recovery.
Robinson fractured his ankle in December and missed 50 straight games after undergoing surgery.
He returned for the playoffs but was re-injured during a physical battle with Joel Embiid in the opening round, prompting another procedure to the area in May.
It’s unclear how Robinson was re-injured but speculation has centered on a dirty play from Embiid in Game 3, when the Sixers center dragged his opponent to the floor.
