Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks has suffered a broken pinky on his shooting hand, leaving his return uncertain as the team prepares for the NBA Finals against either the Thunder or Spurs. His absence could significantly impact the Knicks, as he is their top rebounder and rim protector, with limited center options available. Robinson’s playoff performance has been inconsistent, and he has also faced mental health challenges during this time. As an unrestricted free agent this summer, his injury adds to the Knicks’ historical struggles with injuries in past Finals appearances.
