After suffering a sprained left ankle Sunday afternoon Mitchell Robinson was a late scratch Monday in Cleveland.
This marked just the fifth game that Robinson has missed this season after playing in just 31 games last season with a broken hand and then a broken foot. Nerlens Noel, who returned to action Sunday, moved into the starting lineup.
"It was good to see him out there," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said of Noel.
