Knicks Prepare for Post-All-Star Push as Mitchell Robinson Nears Return
Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby are close to rejoining the Knicks, bolstering their roster for a challenging final stretch of the season.
- Mitchell Robinson has resumed 5-on-5 practices after a prolonged recovery from ankle surgery and is nearing his first game of the season.
- OG Anunoby has returned to full practice following a foot sprain that sidelined him for five games before the All-Star break.
- The Knicks hold a 36-18 record and currently sit third in the Eastern Conference but face the league's second-toughest remaining schedule in the East.
- Robinson's return could strengthen the Knicks' defense, which ranks 18th in the NBA, and allow for new lineup combinations with Karl-Anthony Towns.
- The team’s focus is on advancing past the second round of the playoffs for the first time in over two decades, with key contributions expected from All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Towns.
