Mitchell Robinson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains on track to return to practice this month after an extended recovery from surgery, according to coach Tom Thibodeau as reported by Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. Robinson has yet to begin running full speed, but the expectation is that he'll be back to full practices sometime in January. The 26-year-old big man played 31 games for New York last season, averaging 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game. His eventual return could make Jericho Sims expendable, and Bondy reports that the team is exploring what value Sims has on the trade market.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) underwent a foot surgery in May to address a stress injury that he suffered in the first round of last year's playoffs. According to Yaron Weitzman, the Knicks are not expecting Robinson to return until around the December/January time frame. The team is trying to be as cautious as they can, so they aren't planning to rush him back until he's as close to 100% as possible. Robinson also had surgery on his foot last December before returning in the playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers where re-aggravated the injury and needed further surgery to help alleviate the issue. Head coach Tom Thibodeau is planning to increase Julius Randle's minutes at center in the meantime, and even use OG Anunoby to guard opposing centers in shorter spurts.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson looks set to suit up for a different team next season, and the Washington Wizards are reportedly one of the clubs interested in his services. According to NBA insider Ian Begley, Robinson has "come up" in trade talks between Washington and New York. Last season, Isaiah Hartenstein outplayed Robinson, who battled an ankle injury, leaving the big man from Florida with an uncertain future. However, a move away from New York would definitely boost his fantasy value if Hartenstein remains in the Big Apple. Robinson appears to be a good fit for the Wizards, whose lack of depth under the rim resulted in Kyle Kuzma logging center minutes over the final stretch of the season.
