Knicks to Manage Mitchell Robinson's Workload, Hold Him Out of Some Games

The move aims to preserve the injury-prone center for a full postseason.

Overview

  • SNY's Ian Begley reports Robinson skipped practice Wednesday as part of the team's workload plan.
  • New York will limit his minutes across the season and sit him for select games as a precaution.
  • Specific caps, back-to-backs, and game selections are still being determined by the coaching and medical staff.
  • Robinson appeared in 17 regular-season games last year after foot surgery, then boosted the Knicks' run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
  • He has started alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in multiple preseason games under coach Mike Brown, signaling a prominent role when available.
