Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Iffy for regular-season finale
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets.
Robinson joins OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) as questionable for the regular-season finale. The Knicks are locked into the No. 3 seed, so even if their regulars suit up and play, it's unlikely they'll handle a full workload.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Full stat line in spot start
Rotowire
Robinson finished Friday's 108-102 loss to Cleveland with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.
Following a one-game absence Thursday against Detroit, Robinson filled in down low for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and supplied a full stat line. Towns' absence Friday was likely more of a maintenance day, and Robinson will revert back to the bench once the superstar big man returns. That said, Robinson has averaged 9.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes while shooting 57.9 percent from the field through three games as a starter this year.

Robinson rested Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back set, as the Knicks have not yet cleared him to play on consecutive days since returning from left ankle surgery.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles in spot start
Rotowire
Robinson recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 victory over the 76ers.
Robinson was given the starting nod after Karl-Anthony Towns was ruled out due to an ongoing knee issue. In just his second start of the season, Robinson needed only 21 minutes to put up season-high numbers in both scoring and rebounds.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Robinson made his 2024-25 regular-season debut Feb. 28 after recovering from left ankle surgery during the offseason. The Knicks are managing his injury by holding him out of one leg of back-to-back sets, which means he'll likely be held out of Thursday's game against Charlotte. Robinson will play Wednesday and will be limited to approximately 24 minutes of playing time, per Edwards.
