If Robinson can’t get the nod to play on Tuesday night, it would mark his first absence since the Knicks’ March 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Since then, Robinson has played in the Knicks’ last three games. He picked up a start in their outing against the Pacers, seeing the court for 30 minutes. When the Knicks met with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, March 15, Robinson resumed his role off the bench, seeing the court for 17 minutes.
During that time, Robinson went 2-2 from the field to score four points. He also had 10 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. The Knicks took care of the Warriors with a 110-107 victory.
The 27-year-old Robinson has appeared in 50 games for the Knicks this year. He started in just 15 of those matchups. Seeing the court for 19.5 minutes per game, the veteran center has posted averages of 5.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks.
Robinson entered the NBA in 2018 as a second-rounder (36th overall pick). He has spent his entire eight-year career with the Knicks.
