Mitchell Robinson missed the New York Knicks' first four games of the regular season with what the team called 'left ankle injury management.' He played in the first three preseason games, so fans were confused about why he was missing the start of the season due to load management. It doesn't work that way.
On Thursday, fans got the news they were hoping for, and were worried wouldn't come. Robinson practiced, and even better, he could play on Friday in Chicago against the Bulls. New York's next game after that will be on Sunday against Chicago, but at Madison Square Garden.
