The New York Knicks have been rather outspoken about their desire to utilize a load-management approach to big man Mitchell Robinson.
Considering his eight-year tenure with the franchise has been marred by injuries and, in turn, a bevy of absences, on the surface, this game plan seems to be derived from sound logic.
However, if the club's aim is to preserve the center throughout the regular season so he can save his energy for the rough-and-tough minutes that the NBA Playoffs bring, they may be in for a rude awakening, as going from zero to 100 is a tall task for anyone, especially for a player as injury-prone as Robinson.
