Mitchell Robinson’s Knicks return comes with new injury question mark
NY Post
SAN ANTONIO — A side benefit of the Knicks’ foul issues and drama Friday was a longer look at Mitchell Robinson, who played all but 12 seconds of overtime and felt good about the performance.
The downside is that he also came up with an injury, spraining his left ankle (not his surgically repaired one) after landing awkwardly on a dunk attempt.
The center, who recently returned from a 50-game injury absence, is listed as “questionable” for an Easter Sunday showdown against the Thunder despite postgame assurances that he was physically fine.
“I think I played a solid game for my second game back,” Robinson said. “What did I get, seven [points] and 12 [rebounds]?
“We’re getting right back to the action. Isn’t that what I averaged before I went out? Yeah, come back like a champ.”
Robinson’s 20 overall minutes represented his longest appearance since Dec. 5, a span of nearly four months that included his right ankle surgery.
Silent most of the game, Mikal Bridges required just one play to make himself heard.
