Knicks center Mitchell Robinson suffered a fracture in his right foot during tonight’s game, the team announced on Twitter. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow.
The injury happened midway through the first quarter in Milwaukee, according to Greg Joyce of The New York Post. Robinson landed awkwardly after jumping and hobbled off the court.
While no timeline for a possible return will be considered until Robinson is examined in New York, a fracture threatens to sideline him for at least the rest of the season and the playoffs. The Knicks hold a $1.8MM team option on Robinson for 2021/22.
Robinson returned to the court this week after missing 15 games with a broken right hand. He had a metal plate inserted into the hand to help stabilize it. The 22-year-old has been limited to 30 games during his third NBA season, averaging 8.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per night.
It may be a long shot, but the Robinson injury could change the Knicks’ perspective on trying to outbid the Lakers for center Andre Drummond, who will clear waivers Sunday afternoon. A report earlier tonight said New York has pulled out of the competition for Drummond, even though the club has about $15MM in cap space to make an offer.
Geeeezzzzzz. Drummond don’t sign yet lol
Celtics will give you Kornet back. No worries.
I’ll take him lol. Not kidding. Doubt Thibs would
You see Kornets line against OKC. Dude
13 mins, 8 pts, 5 reb, 1 ast …. not bad right.
now im on board with a drummond signing
We need a scoring center not guna go far with randle other teams stacking players he’s 1
Greg Oden syndrome?
OMG are the Knicks turning into the Yankees with the injuries.
Who else besides mitch? Legit q havent followed the Knucks much.
None that I can think of. Unless you want to count Rose and his COVID absence.
No. The Yankees win championships.
Another important distinction.
Didn’t the Knicks win a couple of championships 50 years ago?
Yeah just like the Rockets 27 years ago. Good burn.
Damn. Dude can’t stay healthy. Will be lucky to get another contract, may be a year to year min guy.
Randle and Bullock out tonight
Outbid ?????!! Knicks can offer most money.
I can’t believe Thibs is not playing Obi1. With Randle out. Don’t get it. But Knicks are hanging tough. This team has developed character this yr. They have taken on Thibs personality, it’s good to see. They are tough, hope they pull out this gm. More important I hope they are going after Drummond hard. I guess you see why I wanted him. Mitch getting back in shape you never know. And then this. Gotta think Knicks don’t want to miss out on playoffs. They have to go for Drummond
Both Knox and Ob1 should of been playing more tonight. Great win tonight. I was very skeptical about Thibs but he’s making me into a believer.
Great win man. Barrett and Burkes. RJ is coming into his own. He still has a way to go. But he is so good right now. Nice win ….. gotta get a big. Hope it’s Drummond. Get well Mitch
Does he have osteoporosis? Next he’ll find a way to fracture his stomach.
This sucks, hope this young man can make a full comeback, we need good young 5’s in the game before they go the way of the dodo
Knicks played better with Noel out there the whole time Robinson was out injured anyway. Robinson is just a McGee type anyway
I’m not worried with Noel and Taj filling in. They have both played really well. What a great job Thibs has done with this roster. Also shows how terrible David Fitz was as a head coach.
I think it’s finally time that we all realize that Mitchell Robinson is nothing more than your average center in today’s game.
The Knicks need to bring in a guy like Drummond who can actually grab Double digit rebounds and score in the double digits.
Teams stacking a big 3-4 stars Knicks got 1 won’t last after 1 round and nobody guna sign here in free agency need a scoring center
