Mitchell Robinson OUT Monday vs. Toronto Raptors – New York Knicks Injury Tracker

According to the New York Knicks’ injury report, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will not play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET (MSG). After the Boston game on Monday, Robinson arrived late to the locker room after halftime and ended up playing just five minutes of the last twenty-four. Robinson, the Knick with the oldest contract, has been one of the team’s most reliable players, especially in the interior where he grabs 10.3 rebounds a game. Head coach Tom Thibodeau had stated that Robinson would have “additional testing” done on the questioned ankle earlier in the afternoon, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

After Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, player Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks caused anxiety among the crowd by hurting his ankle in the last minute of play. It doesn’t seem like the injury will prevent him from missing any time, either. Tom Thibodeau believes that Brunson is “good,” allowing him to play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG), according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

With little over 21 seconds remaining in Friday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks departed the game. As Derrick White attempted a free throw, Brunson, who was still in the game and the Knicks down 12, clashed with Payton Pritchard. When Brunson attempted to advance but ended up limping, the Knicks had to call a timeout. After a 133-123 loss, head coach Tom Thibodeau remained silent about Brunson’s situation, citing that he had not yet spoken with the training staff, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News.

Julius Randle (right knee irritation) is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Friday’s Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors game (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG) by SNY. Since joining the Knicks in 2019, Randle has been incredibly dependable, missing just 18 games throughout the regular season. In Thursday night’s victory over Detroit, he scored 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 29 minutes of action.

After missing two games due to a wrist injury, head coach Tom Thibodeau stated that Quentin Grimes will be back in time for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic. Donte DiVincenzo has taken Grimes’ place in the starting five in each of the previous two games, although Thibodeau stated that Grimes “may” return to that lineup,

according to Katz. Even though Grimes is back, Evan Fournier (ankle) won’t be accessible.

For the New York Knicks’ game at Charlotte on Saturday night (6 p.m. ET, MSG), Evan Fournier (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (wrist) are out. RJ Barrett has returned to the starting five. Barrett, who has missed the last four games, will return. After playing against Washington on Friday to earn his first minutes of the 2023–24 season, Fournier is currently struggling with inflammation. Grimes’ starting spot will be taken by Donte DiVincenzo for the second straight game.
