The Knicks applied for a disabled player exception for Robinson (ankle) on Wednesday, signaling that they project him to miss the rest of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Robinson was originally projected to miss 8-to-10 weeks after he was diagnosed with a significant left ankle injury. However, after he recently underwent surgery to address the injury, the Knicks have applied for the exception, which can only be granted if the player is out through June 15. If Robinson is in fact done for the season, he'll finish his sixth NBA campaign with averages of 6.2 points (on 59.2 percent shooting from the field), 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 assists in 29.2 minutes per game over 21 appearances. Isaiah Hartenstein is expected to see the bulk of the minutes at center moving forward, though Jericho Sims (ankle) could slot into the starting role once he's healthy.
