Knicks center Mitchell Robinson underwent a surgical procedure on his left ankle today, Ian Begley of SNY TV tweets.
Robinson was ruled out for the remainder of the postseason last week after he sustained a stress injury to the ankle. At that time, it was reported that he wouldn’t require surgery.
That changed after additional consideration by his surgeon and the Knicks’ medical staff. Begley adds that it was a minor procedure. Robinson will still be reevaluated in six-to-eight weeks, which was the same timetable given last week.
Robinson underwent surgery on the same ankle in December. He didn’t return until March 27.
Overall, Robinson only appeared in 31 regular season games and six postseason contests. He has two years remaining on his four-year, front-loaded $60MM contract.
Robinson also underwent surgery for a thumb injury last season.
Thank you Embiid ……. Mitch should sue Sixers and Embiid.
I wouldn’t open that can of worms. Otherwise, half the Knicks players from the 90s are getting sued.
Embiid is definitely a dirt bag but blaming him for the most injury prone 5 in the league needing another surgery is a little much imo
Did you see what he did …..
Yes Al I saw what he did. Thats why I started my statement acknowledging that Embiid was a dirt bag. But let’s not act like Embiid has been a shadow following Mitch around for 3+ years.
Mitch’s health problems have been a constant problem. That didn’t start when Embiid tried to rip his knee off his leg. Thats all Im saying.
It doesn’t matter when his issues started. Embiid literally graved his bad leg. Purpose or not doesn’t matter. Considering he needs surgery again on same ankle he grabbed. Only makes him liable. Careers have to be protected.
So we should jail Kuminga for landing on the Embiids knee earlier in the year? If intent doesn’t matter
How long before Thibs gets sued?
What are the chances that Randle, Bojan, Mitch, and 4 number ones get either Booker or Mikal? I hope the Knicks do everything to keep Hartenstein, Precious, and OG. It also depends on if those players want to come back or start ring chasing since Knicks is not quite at a Championship level yet.
Well considering the 3 Knicks you mentioned make a cumulative 63ish million dollars and Mikal makes 23, and Booker makes 50…. the chances are pretty low. And thats not accounting for the tremendous over pay of those players AND 4 firsts. This is the definition of a 2k trade lol
I’m really glad you are not the GM.
So please tell me some other trade idea. Knicks may have to overpay to get Booker or Mikal.
My explanation deleted it self but I’ll leave you with a more realistic trade since you asked for it
Nets receive : DiVincenzo, McBride, Bogdonovic, lottery protected 1st, 2 2nds
Knicks receive : Bridges, Schroder, and a pick swap way way down the road.
Both teams betting on the other to fail.
Imo Mitch time is up in NY. Way Hartenstein has stepped up. Makes a ton of sense to draft a C. And move Mitch in a big trade.
