Overview
- Robinson logged 20 minutes in Tuesday’s 111–95 win at Toronto, briefly grabbed his surgically repaired ankle, was re‑taped, returned, and said he felt fine as the team continues to evaluate him.
- He is expected to sit Wednesday against Oklahoma City, consistent with the season‑long approach of avoiding back‑to‑backs.
- Coach Mike Brown said the choice to use Robinson against the Raptors reflected conference implications, and he praised the Knicks’ medical and performance staff guiding the plan.
- The victory completed a 4–0 sweep of Toronto, extended New York’s streak to three wins, and underscored a recent defensive surge that includes a league‑best 105.3 defensive rating over the last 15 games.
- Robinson has appeared in 44 games with elite offensive rebounding rates, and remaining back‑to‑backs plus a June 30 extension deadline frame the team’s next decisions.
