As such, in the wake of his massive availability for the team to help them take Game 1 of the championship series against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, the veteran big man denied inquiries about the full details of his sudden injury.
“I’m here to talk about basketball,” Robinson told reporters after New York's 105-95 win, per Ian Begley of SNY.
After he and the Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, reports broke out that Robinson sustained a broken right pinky finger.
It was announced that he underwent surgery to address it, and it was ultimately revealed that his injury is actually a fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone.
Previously, according to ESPN insider Shams Charania, Robinson sustained the injury at home, prompting more speculation surrounding the circumstances.
But regardless of uncertainty about his injury, what matters more right now for the Knicks is Robinson's will to continue playing despite hand complications.
The big man shed his questionable tag and played impressively to help New York steal Game 1, finishing with two points and six rebounds in 13 minutes.
Along with star big man Karl-Anthony Towns, Robinson played a huge role in containing Victor Wembanyama to a rough 6-of-21 shooting.
