Overview
- Robinson rolled his left ankle while contesting a rebound in the second quarter of the season opener and limped to the bench with help from Celtics medical staff.
- He returned to play after a timeout but was limited to 18 minutes and finished with four points and four rebounds as Luka Garza spelled him in the second quarter.
- Coach Joe Mazzulla gave a short-term, optimistic update after the game saying 'he's good to go' and Robinson told reporters he will be 'OK'.
- The team will continue to monitor the tweak because Robinson has a documented history of ankle problems that make even minor injuries relevant to availability.
- Boston signed Robinson this offseason to add offensive rebounding and rim protection and plans a managed rotation with Neemias Queta and Luka Garza, a strategy that could be used more if his minutes are restricted for recovery.
