After 14 games of absence, Mitchell Robinson will likely return to the New York Knicks lineup, ironically, against the Washington Wizards and in the same venue where he fractured his right thumb.
Robinson made his first full-contact practice Wednesday after his team-supervised workouts while vacationing in his hometown in Louisiana during the All-Star break.
“It’s his first day back, so we’ll see how he feels,” New York coach Tom Thibodeau said. “But he’s got to go step by step.”
Robinson suffered the injury on Jan. 18 during the first half of a Knicks loss at Washington.
