Mitchell Robinson Nears Return to Knicks, Bolstering Playoff Hopes

After over three months sidelined by ankle surgery, Mitchell Robinson's imminent return adds depth and defensive prowess to the Knicks' lineup.

Mitchell Robinson is set to return to the New York Knicks after more than three months out due to ankle surgery, potentially as early as next week.
Robinson's return is anticipated to strengthen the Knicks' defense, especially with his partnership with OG Anunoby, who led the league in steals last season.
Despite the lengthy absence, Robinson will initially come off the bench as coach Tom Thibodeau aims to ease him back into the rotation.
The Knicks have performed well in Robinson's absence, securing the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, but his return could provide a significant boost during the playoffs.
Robinson's comeback is eagerly awaited, with both the player and coach expressing optimism about his impact on the team's defensive and offensive capabilities.
