The series opener will take place on Wednesday at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, where the Spurs will host Game 1 of the Finals.
According to Shams Charania, Robinson went through a full practice session following right-hand surgery, putting him in line to play despite recent injury concerns.
Earlier reports clarified that Robinson suffered a broken fifth metacarpal in his right shooting hand, rather than a pinky injury as first believed, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
The Knicks center has been an important rotation piece during the 2026 NBA Playoffs, providing interior defense and rebounding off the bench.
So far in the postseason, Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game, while shooting an efficient 73.7 percent from the field.
