Mitchell Robinson closing in on return for banged-up Knicks

NEW YORK - Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau gave his latest round of injury updates on his injured starting frontcourt - forwards Julius Randle and OG Anunoby and center Mitchell Robinson - before Monday night's game here at Madison Square Garden against the Detroit Pistons, and insinuated Robinson, who has been out since Dec. 8 following ankle surgery, will be the first of the trio to return.

"Mitchell is moving quite well," Thibodeau said during his pregame media session. "He's cleared for contact and all that. He's going through practices and so just needs a little more time.
