Just when you think the New York Knicks’ frontcourt is about to be back at full strength, Mitchell Robinson goes and gets injured again.
The Knicks’ third-year big man suffered a broken right foot in Saturday night’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks. To add insult to injury, Robinson only just returned from a broken hand. Until he’s re-evaluated Sunday, it must be assumed he’ll miss extended time.
This leaves Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson as the Knicks’ top options at the center position, and Julius Randle can probably play some emergency minutes there as well.
