Impact Robinson, who underwent surgery to address a significant left ankle injury, initially was expected to miss the rest of the regular season, so the Knicks applied for a Disabled Player Exception in late December. Isaiah Hartenstein has played well in Robinson's absence, while recently-acquired Precious Achiuwa has stepped up as the primary backup. Jericho Sims and Taj Gibson, who has since been released, also played key roles for a time. Unfortunately, Robinson's return likely won't impact fantasy, as most leagues will be wrapping up by the time he potentially returns, and he'll presumably be under restrictions during his return.
