New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson suffered a stress injury to his surgically repaired left ankle and will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks, the team said Tuesday night.
Robinson is likely done for the season, as the latest possible date for the NBA Finals would be June 23, roughly six weeks out.
Robinson played 12 minutes and scored two points Monday in Game 1 of the Knicks’ second-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks won 121-117.
Before the Knicks’ announcement, he was ruled out for Game 2 due to “left ankle injury management.”
Multiple reports said Robinson underwent tests earlier Tuesday and will not pursue surgery as an option as of now.
In 31 games (21 starts) of an injury-marred sixth NBA season, Robinson averaged 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and a career-best 1.2 steals per game. He played five of the Knicks’ six games in the first-round series against Philadelphia and averaged 3.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals.
