Mitchell Robinson is he in the infirmary or not? The question is asked on the side of New York. Indeed, after meeting during the preseason, the pivot was withdrawn to avoid an injury to his left ankle. Except that Mike Brown then clarified that his player was not injured…
We may be in a ‘load management’ case, to avoid putting too much force on the fragile joint, which was operated on 18 months ago, but it’s still been three weeks since he played.
Tuesday, before to face the BucksMitchell Robinson participated in the shootout, but did not appear during the Knicks loss. This Thursday he trained for the first time in ten days. Strange management for a player who is not injured, even if his return is possible this Friday against the Bulls.
Patience and length of time
“Looks good”, slide Mike Brown. “He brings a lot. He hasn’t played in a while, so he’s not going to be the Mitchell Robinson we know for the next five games, regardless of playing time. His size, his defensive ability, his rebounding brings it on both ends of the floor. Then we have a threat on offense and a pillar on defense. It’s hard to replace him in his unique spot.
The coach wants to extend this request for patience to his entire group. Mitchell Robinson returns from “injury” Guerschon Yabusele was hit in the knee, Karl-Anthony Towns still looking for himself and the team is still purring, with two wins in four matches.
“It will take time. It is difficult to make a true assessment in the first five or ten matches.”, claims Mike Brown. “We know, the first month everyone has a chance and the guys play hard. Sometimes the teams in the first positions at the beginning will no longer be at the end. Because the teams are looking for each other. We don’t evaluate just one player, but everyone. Not only the defense, but also the attack. So at the end of November or December, we should have a better vision of things.”
