Mitchell Robinson

The latest injury news and possible return dates for New York Knicks players...

Tuesday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Knicks, who host the Clippers on Wednesday. With that being the case, Robinson was unlikely to be available for both games. His absence on Tuesday means more rotation minutes for Precious Achiuwa, who is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues when starter Karl-Anthony Towns is available.

It's a back-to-back, so Robinson will likely miss one of the games. Dallas, who will be playing the second night of a back-to-back, seems like a great matchup for Robinson to sit out to ensure he is ready to play the Clippers on Wednesday. We'll see what Tom Thibodeau decides, but Precious Achiuwa should take on the backup center minutes when Robinson is out.

Precious Achiuwa filled out the backup center minutes on Thursday with Robinson sitting out the second night of New York's back-to-back. However, with Robinson back, Achiuwa will lose out on some minutes from his already small role.

The Knicks big man has been hurt for most of the season and logged his first double-double of the year his last time out. New York is being cautious with him an Precious Achiuwa will likely take on a more prominent role off the bench against Charlotte.
