Mitchell Robinson (thumb surgery) out for Knicks at least 3 weeks
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson underwent surgery Thursday to repair a fractured right thumb, the team announced.
The Knicks said Robinson will be re-evaluated in three weeks after fracturing his thumb in Wednesday's loss to the Washington Wizards. The NBA All-Star break is in a month, so the Knicks may decide to hold Robinson out until they return. Isaiah Hartenstein is the favorite to replace Robinson in the starting lineup, but there should also be more opportunities for Jericho Sims and Obi Toppin.
Robinson is averaging 27.0 FanDuel points in 26.8 minutes per game this season, with 7.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks. Hartenstein is averaging 20.4 FanDuel points in 24.4 minutes as a starter this season, with 6.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks.
