Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Robinson (illness) is questionable Wednesday for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers.
Robinson is a late addition to the injury report with an illness, presumably waking up under the weather Wednesday. Ariel Hukporti should handle the backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns if Robinson cannot play.
Robinson was ejected from Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Hawks after being involved in an altercation, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll end the night with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds and two blocks in nine minutes.
Robinson got tangled up with Dyson Daniels down the stretch of the second quarter, and both players were tossed after the play was reviewed. It was a turbulent Game 6 for Robinson, who briefly departed in the first quarter with an apparent injury and was then ejected with a few minutes remaining in the half. The Knicks had gotten out to a comfortable 72-22 lead at the time of Robinson's ejection, so his absence the rest of the way shouldn't impact the outcome of the game.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Grabs eight boards in win
Rotowire
Robinson posted six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Saturday's 114-98 win over the Hawks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Robinson logged no more than 15 minutes for the third time in the past four games, continuing to offer limited production on both ends of the floor. With Atlanta paper-thin when it comes to the center spot, Robinson's size is simply not needed as much as usual. While he should remain a constant piece of the rotation, it is unlikely he will playing a sizeable role, at least not during the current series.
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Limited in Game 1 victory
Rotowire
Robinson registered three points (1-1 FG, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 14 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 win over the Hawks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Robinson played just 14 minutes, a slightly reduced role, as New York opted to run with some smaller lineups. Given that the Hawks don't really have a viable backup center, there is a chance Robinson will continue to be used sparingly, assuming Karl-Anthony Towns can stay out of foul trouble.
