Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson won't play Wednesday against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management.
Robinson hasn't been cleared to play in both ends of back-to-back sets as the Knicks continue to exercise caution with the center after he required a second surgery on his left ankle in May 2024. He had a terrific showing in Tuesday's 103-87 win over the Kings even closed the game over Karl-Anthony Towns, finishing with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Cleans up glass in win
Rotowire
Robinson registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 103-87 win over the Kings.
The 27-year-old center continues to make an impact on the glass from the second unit. Robinson has recorded double-digit boards in seven of his last eight games, averaging 6.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 22.1 minutes over that span as he provides strong support in the frontcourt for Karl-Anthony Towns.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Goes for 12-and-14
Rotowire
Robinson closed Monday's 114-97 loss to Dallas with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks over 19 minutes.
Robinson recorded his second double-double of the season, adding a pair of blocks for good measure. It's been a frustrating season for the big man, who has been continually managed as a result of ongoing ankle issues. At this point, it doesn't appear as though he will be playing starter-level minutes anytime soon, instead serving as the backup behind Karl-Anthony Towns. At best, managers should view him as a rebounds and blocks streamer.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Pulls down 10 rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Robinson logged one point (0-1 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Phoenix.
This was Robinson's fourth consecutive double-digit rebounding effort and his third straight game with at least one swat. He usually won't do much in the points department, but if you need some help in boards and blocks, Robinson is worth a roster spot.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
The Knicks are giving Robinson Thursday night off, which is the second part of their back-to-back, for ankle injury management. Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele should split the backup minutes at center behind Karl-Anthony Towns on Thursday.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Pulls down 11 boards
Rotowire
Robinson accumulated eight points (3-3 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Kings.
Robinson had a strong line Wednesday, but it's worth mentioning that his status for Thursday's game versus the Warriors is in the air due to injury maintenance. The Knicks have been cautious with Robinson during back-to-back sets, and the team could give Guerschon Yabusele or Ariel Hukporti more run if Robinson sits out.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Bench role vs. LAC
Rotowire
Robinson is not in the Knicks' starting lineup against the Clippers on Wednesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Robinson has started in each of the Knicks' last two games, but he will cede his starting spot to Miles McBride for Wednesday's contest. Over his last 10 outings (four starts), Robinson has averaged 5.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals over 21.1 minutes per game.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Contributes two steals in return
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) registered two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Saturday's 130-119 loss to the 76ers.
Back in action following a three-game absence due to left ankle injury management, Robinson picked up his 12th start of the season as part of a supersized frontcourt with Karl-Anthony Towns. While he could end up sticking in the starting five while the Knicks await the return of Josh Hart (ankle), Robinson is unlikely to see a major uptick in playing time. Robinson has reached the 25-minute mark just three times in 23 appearances on the campaign, as his tendency to pick up fouls in addition to Towns' ability to play center often suppresses Robinson's playing time.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Robinson won't play in Friday's game against the Hawks due to left ankle injury management, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com.
Friday will be a third straight outing on the shelf for Robinson. It's unclear if the Knicks plan to have the big man available for the second part of their back-to-back set Saturday against the 76ers. Ariel Hukporti should take on more playing time Friday, though he'd likely need Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) to sit out as well in order to see a significant boost in fantasy appeal.

Robinson is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Robinson drew the start Tuesday against the Timberwolves but will move to the bench for the Knicks' Christmas Day matchup with the Cavaliers as Jalen Brunson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (ankle) return to the starting lineup.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles with three stocks
Rotowire
Robinson produced 21 points (7-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to the 76ers.
Robinson recorded his first double-digit scoring game of the year, and it was also the first time this season he's hit consecutive free throws, which had the New York crowd going wild. However, with averages of 4.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game on the season, Mitchell can only be viewed as a shot-blocking and rebounding specialist in deep leagues.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Thursday is the first part of a back-to-back, so the Knicks are opting to hold Robinson out for left ankle injury management. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is also sidelined Thursday, which leaves New York in position to experiment with small-ball lineups. In terms of a potential streaming option, Guerschon Yabusele stands out as the most likely candidate to soak up the lion's share of the center minutes.

Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
With Thursday being the first half of a back-to-back, the Knicks are considering keeping Robinson out for left ankle injury management. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is also uncertain for Thursday, meaning New York could end up having a timeshare at center between Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Modest effort again Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson produced two points (2-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-101 victory over the Raptors.
Robinson shifted back to the bench with Karl-Anthony Towns returning from a one-game absence due to calf tightness. After being a regular fixture in the starting lineup to begin the season, it appears as though New York has gone away from the idea of playing two bigs, instead opting to play Robinson as the backup behind Towns. Through 16 games, Robinson has averaged 8.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 17.5 minutes per contest, making him nothing more than a streaming option in standard formats.
