Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Tossed from Game 6
Rotowire
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.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Hukporti will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) skipped the Knicks' regular-season finale, but both those guys will be back in action Saturday, which could make it tough for Hukporti to get into the rotation. As a reserve this season, Hukporti has averaged 1.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.
Robinson will end up missing the final two games of the regular season while managing a left ankle injury, though he should be available for the start of the postseason. He'll end the 2025-26 campaign averaging 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals over 19.6 minutes per game.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Robinson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management.
Robinson will get a breather for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he recorded seven points, seven rebounds, three steals and one block across 19 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 win over the Celtics. In Robinson's absence Friday, Ariel Hukporti is likely to enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Grabs 12 boards, adds three blocks
Rotowire
Robinson finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 108-105 victory over the Hawks.
Robinson got it done on both ends of the floor, making some key plays for the Knicks in what felt like a playoff game. Seemingly healthy now, Robinson figures to play a sizeable role for New York, providing the team with an elite defensive presence and a dynamic rebounder, particularly on the offensive glass.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Robinson won't start Monday's game against Atlanta.
Robinson started Friday's 136-96 win over Chicago, finishing with a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double along with two steals and one block across 23 minutes. However, with Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) back in the lineup, Robinson will head back to the bench.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Efficient double-double in win
Rotowire
Robinson accumulated 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 136-96 win over the Bulls.
Robinson got the start at center due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow), and the former made the most of the uptick in playing time. Robinson was perfect from the field en route to his first double-digit scoring output since March 24, and he also posted his first double-double since March 22. The big man has four double-doubles since the All-Star break, and he'll likely remain productive, particularly in category-based leagues, as long as his playing time continues to hover around the 20-minute plateau.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Starting versus Bulls
Rotowire
Robinson will start Friday's game against Chicago, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) won't suit up for this contest, so Robinson will make his first start since the 101-92 win over the Pacers on March 13. In 15 starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 28-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 19.9 minutes per tilt.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Struggles again in loss
Rotowire
Robinson amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.
Robinson has struggled to have an impact in recent times, averaging just 4.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.9 minutes per game across his past three appearances. Although he has been mostly healthy, his impact remains inconsistent, particularly from a fantasy standpoint. At best, managers can consider him for streaming purposes when in need of boards and blocks.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Robinson supplied 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.
Robinson made the most of his 17 minutes in this blowout win, posting his first double-double since March 13 while going perfect from the floor. Robinson has two double-doubles over his last four games, but his fantasy value is tied to his defensive production. He's posted four games with at least 10 boards and two blocks over that stretch. Robinson is averaging 6.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in 10 March appearances while shooting 78 percent from the floor.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Robinson popped up on the injury report because of back tightness. However, it won't keep him off the floor Tuesday. The 27-year-old is coming off a four-point, 10-rebound, three-steal and two-block effort over 17 minutes in Sunday's win over Golden State. While he hasn't been a consistent producer offensively, there's a chance he will get more involved on the scoring end, considering Jalen Brunson (neck/ankle) won't suit up.
