Mitchell Robinson of the Knicks is making progress and will resume playing after the All-Star break.
When the Knicks go back from the All-Star break, they might receive a significant boost.
Mitchell Robinson, who hasn’t played since suffering a stress fracture in his left ankle against the Celtics on December 8, is getting closer to making his court debut, which might happen in a few weeks.
Growing increasingly better. Before the Grizzlies game on Tuesday, head coach Tom Thibodeau stated that the team was “progressing.” “He’ll probably start practicing on the court shortly after the All-Star break. We’re happy with his progress thus far. It’s advantageous.
The Knicks center’s news is extremely encouraging because there was a period when the team was unsure if he would return this season. In fact, they requested for a Disabled Per Exception in order to get around some cap restrictions so they could use the money for possible deals.
The NBA turned down the Knicks’ appeal, citing insufficient evidence from league doctors to support a six-month absence for Robinson (SNY’s Ian Begley).
It is constrained. Thibodeau continued, “We have to follow the protocol step-by-step. “You must have faith in both your player and your medical. We will not expose him to danger. Before he leaves the house, we will make sure he is fully well.
Robinson has averaged 10.3 rebounds and 6.2 points per game in 21 games.
On February 22, the Knicks will make their comeback from the All-Star break.
