New York Knicks Starter Receives Worrisome Injury Update

In Game 1 of last season’s playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson suffered a left ankle injury. Robinson had surgery on the ankle, his second of the season, and missed the rest of the playoffs. There was hope that Robinson, New York’s starting center, would return in time for the 2024-25 campaign. However, roughly a week before the start of training camp, this seems unlikely.

According to NBA reporter Yaron Weitzman, Robinson “is not fully recovered” from the surgery. Weitzman also confirmed that the big man is not likely to be ready for the start of the regular season. Furthermore, Weitzman mentioned December or January as a potential return timeline for Robinson.
