Mitchell Robinson has seemingly put the New York Knicks in an impossible situation. He is too important to trade, and not available nearly enough to count on. The latter part of the Robinson experience suggests he might not be long for New York, particularly when diving deeper into the center market this summer. Yet, in this case, his checkered health bill may actually be the Knicks’ silent savior.
The extent to which Robinson’s health must be managed, potentially forever, is not a secret. The entire league knows he’s working on a surgically repaired ankle.
