MITCHELL ROBINSON NEWS

Expected to start Sunday Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Robinson (back) will "most likely" start Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson returned to action Friday following a one-game absence due to a back issue, but he operated off the bench and played just 19 minutes. It appears the big man didn't experience any setbacks after his outing and will be back in the starting lineup Sunday. When Robinson has played over 25 minutes this season (40 contests), he's averaged 10.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 29.4 minutes per game.

Eased back in Friday Robinson produced 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's 111-103 victory over the Heat.

Impact Robinson was back in action Friday, playing 19 minutes off the bench in the victory. Coming off a back injury, the coaching staff opted to limit his role, something that could remain in place for at least another game or two. The Knicks are 10 games below .500, so they are not going to push things when it comes to Robinson's playing time. He remains a 12-team asset, but managers will want to keep an eye on things in case his role remains limited.

Available off bench Robinson (back) will be available off the bench for Friday's matchup with the Heat.

Game-time call Friday Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Robinson (back) will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Heat, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson missed Wednesday's win over the Hornets due to a sore lower back. If he's sidelined for a second straight game, Jericho Sims will likely draw another start.

Ruled out Wednesday Robinson will not play Wednesday against the Hornets due to a sore back, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact With the Knicks playing on a back-to-back after losing what was essentially a must-win game Tuesday night against the Hawks, Robinson will take a seat on what amounts to a rest night for the big man. Robinson played 35 minutes against the Hawks, finishing with just nine points and six boards, but he did add three steals and four blocks. Robinson continues to harm fantasy managers at the free throw line, as he's down to a career-worst 48.4 percent on the year after going 1-of-6 on Tuesday. With Nerlens Noel (foot) likely done for the year, expect Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims to handle most of the center minutes Wednesday.

Another versatile outing Friday Robinson amassed 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 118-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Robinson was fantastic in a losing effort Friday, continuing what has been one of the best stretches of his career. Discounting the game against the Kings in which he left after just two minutes, over his last four full appearances, Robinson has put up gaudy averages of 12.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 3.0 blocks per game. He is hitting his stride at just the right time, and fantasy managers simply have to hope that he can maintain this momentum for the remainder of the season.

Double-doubles in blowout win Robinson (illness) accumulated 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 107-77 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact After playing just two minutes in the Knicks' previous game Monday against the Kings while he battled an illness, Robinson looked plenty healthy Wednesday during his time on the court. His nearly flawless shooting night was a welcome sight, given that he entered Wednesday's game converting only 41.3 percent of his free-throw attempts since the beginning of January. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Robinson to remain a liability in that category, but he can offset his shortcomings in that area through his elite field-goal percentage to go along with his typically strong rebounding and blocks production.

Good to go Wednesday Robinson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Robinson was limited to two minutes Monday against the Kings due to the illness and was questionable for Wednesday, but he's been cleared to take the court. The young big man had three straight double-doubles and averaged 13.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 blocks in 28.0 minutes in the three games preceding his early exit.

With Nerlens Noel (knee) sidelined indefinitely, Jericho Sims and Taj Gibson would both be candidates for increased roles if Robinson is ruled out.

Comes up empty from free-throw line Robinson finished with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 116-93 win over the Clippers.

Impact Unless his fantasy managers are punting the free-throw percentage category, Robinson's second consecutive double-double rang hollow. After converting at a poor 60 percent rate from the free-throw line as a rookie in 2018-19, Robinson has seen his efficiency at the charity stripe backslide in each successive season. He currently sits at 48.6 percent for the campaign, and even though he's only making 2.4 trips to the line per game, he's still been one of the NBA's worst performers in the category in terms of overall impact.
