Mitchell Robinson on track for Game 1 return in NBA Finals 🔵🟠
Mitchell Robinson just turned Knicks-Spurs Game 1 into an even bigger storyline, with ESPN reporting the center fully practiced and is now expected to be available despite recent hand surgery 🏀 After fracturing the fifth metacarpal in his shooting hand and undergoing surgery, Robinson has been ramping up with light shooting and dribbling in a wrap, going through individual work before the team flew to San Antonio, and is officially listed as questionable but trending up. The 28-year-old, New York’s longest-tenured player and backup to six-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, has quietly anchored the second unit all postseason, shooting a league-best 73.7% from the field in 13 playoff games and finishing eighth in Sixth Man voting, making his presence around the rim a potential X-factor as the Knicks ride an 11-game win streak into the Finals 🤞🔥
