Knicks Announce Mitchell Robinson Will Miss 8-10 Weeks
5 months agoThe New York Knicks announced on Monday that center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will have left ankle surgery this week and be re-evaluated in 8-to-10 weeks. The injury held Robinson to 19 minutes in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, and he's now set to be sidelined until the All-Star break. It's a big hit for New York's integrity down low, as the 25-year-old defensive anchor was averaging 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks in 29.2 minutes over 21 games. Robinson is also leading the NBA with 112 offensive rebounds this season. Isaiah Hartenstein is Monday's hottest waiver-wire fantasy add on Yahoo, but head coach Tom Thibodeau evenly distributed his minutes with Jericho Sims when Robinson was on the shelf last year. Over 23 games without Robinson in 2022-23, Hartenstein averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 boards, and 1.1 swats in 23.5 minutes, while Sims averaged 4.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 0.7 rejections in 23.1 minutes.
