New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. The Knicks will play the Suns on Sunday. As a result, he's expected to return for the second game of back-to-back outings. Karl-Anthony Towns will remain in the middle, as expected. However, Robinson's absence should mean Precious Achiuwa will see at least 20 minutes of action, with the former Raptor amassing 13 points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports that New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Due to a left ankle injury recovery, the 26-year-old has been downgraded from questionable to unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set.

The Knicks are entering a back-to-back set, and Robinson was initially uncertain for the game after being labeled as questionable on the injury report.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man suited up on Tuesday, but he was only able to play 15 minutes during that game. The Knicks continue to be cautious with the 26-year-old while he works his way back to full health. Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) would likely benefit if Robinson is unable to play, but he's also on the injury report. This could end up being a busy night for Karl-Anthony Towns if both players are unable to go.
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in the lineup for the first time this season for Friday's road contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been cleared for his season debut after recovering from ankle surgery. With Ariel Hukporti (knee) ruled out for four weeks, Robinson's addition comes at a good time for the Knicks.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) went through a full practice on Wednesday.

ESPN's Shams Charania recently reported that the Knicks and Robinson are targeting March 1 as his return date. Robinson has yet to play this season due to ankle surgery.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains on track to return to practice this month after an extended recovery from surgery, according to coach Tom Thibodeau as reported by Stefan Bondy of the New York Post.

The 26-year-old big man played 31 games for New York last season, averaging 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game. His eventual return could make Jericho Sims expendable, and Bondy reports that the team is exploring what value Sims has on the trade market.
Mitchell Robinson Sidelined Until At Least December
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) underwent a foot surgery in May to address a stress injury that he suffered in the first round of last year's playoffs. According to Yaron Weitzman, the Knicks are not expecting Robinson to return until around the December/January time frame. The team is trying to be as cautious as they can, so they aren't planning to rush him back until he's as close to 100% as possible. Robinson also had surgery on his foot last December before returning in the playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers where re-aggravated the injury and needed further surgery to help alleviate the issue. Head coach Tom Thibodeau is planning to increase Julius Randle's minutes at center in the meantime, and even use OG Anunoby to guard opposing centers in shorter spurts.
