Mitchell Robinson Drops Cryptic Post On IG Following Injury Shocker – Should Knicks be Worried?

“You’re going to make it. God is on your side,” positively wrote Mitchell Robinson, following his unfortunate injury update. The New York Knicks‘ six-season experienced center had gone through a roller coaster ride in his career dealing with multiple injuries. At the same time, he has managed to bounce back all the time just like the positive note he had shared time. However, hours after the optimistic statement, Robinson seemed to have backtracked with a worrying note. The question is: is he calling it quits or calling out his perpetrator?

Before we head into the stars concerning message, it’s necessary to take a detour. In the lineup of Robinson’s career’s recurring calamity, he sustained an ankle injury last season and forced him to miss 50 games. And the 7 ‘0 big man managed to return to the fold for the postseason and unfortunately, the star aggravated the injury after an ugly play in Game 3 of the First Round.

While Rob had enough time to recover from the leg surgery, the league source revealed that Mitchell Robinson won’t return until December/January. Moreover, the NY Post also added that the Knicks aren’t in a hurry to get the star back on the floor. So it also highlighted that the center’s return could take longer than expected. Amid this unfortunate situation, the 26-year-old found the courage to stay positive with his social media activities.

However, it didn’t stay for longer as he dropped a cryptic message hours later. Robinson took to his IG stories and wrote, “The truth ALWAYS comes out at some point. Keep that in mind.” While the star spoke about patience and trust in god, suddenly addressed about revealing a truth. Notably, there isn’t any clarity on an affair to which the Knicks center was referring. However, we could put on the detective hats for some time to dig out some news.

Was Mitchell Robinson referring to Joel Embiid?

You may wonder about Joel Embiid‘s sudden appearance on the subject. Well, if you do, you’re late for the party. It’s safe to say that the Cameroonian big man has a huge part in Robinson’s injury hiatus. During Game 3 of Playoffs First Round, the Philadelphia 76ers center engaged in a nasty play that aggravated the Knicks center’s ankle injury.

In a play where Embiid took a charge from OG Anunoby and fell on the floor. The British baller, spotting the opportunity, dished the ball to Robinson, who was standing near the rim to finish the business. However, unfortunately, he couldn’t as Embiid held on to his ankle from the floor, leaving him in immense pain. Following that, Rob has yet to make the return.

When the refs should have taken serious action against it, he got away with a flagrant foul. Speaking of which, Robinson said, “If I did [Embiid’s takedown], I would’ve been out and suspended… I would’ve been out of there.” So, the cryptic message could have been addressed to Embiid, where he’d prove the refs wrong. Or is he calling it quits? Considering the constant injury breaks, the star might have been forced into making a drastic decision. Nevertheless, looking at the star’s other positive notes, it’s completely out of the equation. What do you make of the cryptic message? Let us know in the comments.
