New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson is dealing with a fractured right pinkie finger, with no clear timeline established for his recovery, a source with knowledge of the situation has revealed.<\/p>

The source provided this information to The Associated Press anonymously on Thursday, as the organization has not yet made an official announcement regarding the injury.<\/p>

The development comes as New York prepares for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, scheduled for next Wednesday as they travel to face either Oklahoma City or San Antonio.<\/p>

Throughout the postseason’s first three rounds, Robinson has participated in 13 of the team’s initial 16 contests, contributing over 17 minutes as a substitute during the Eastern Conference finals-deciding win in Cleveland. The squad resumed practice activities at their home facility Thursday.<\/p>

New York has compiled a remarkable 12-2 postseason record, outscoring opponents by an average of 19.4 points per contest while riding an 11-game winning streak. This current run matches the third-longest consecutive victory streak recorded within a single postseason.<\/p>

The 28-year-old big man has contributed 5.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game during the playoffs, serving primarily as a backup whose court time increases when Karl-Anthony Towns encounters foul difficulties. Offensively, Robinson has become a target for intentional fouling due to his struggles from the charity stripe, converting just 13 of 43 attempts for a 30.2% success rate.<\/p>

ESPN initially broke the news of Robinson’s finger fracture.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
