Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Robinson (ankle) has been cleared to resume taking contact, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Robinson has yet to make his season debut while recovering from the surgery he underwent on his left ankle last May. While Robinson's advancement to taking contact on the court is the next step forward in his recovery program, the Knicks aren't yet putting a timeline on the center's return to game action. Once healthy, the 26-year-old should serve as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns, a role that likely will result in Robinson playing fewer than 20 minutes per game.
