New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson’s status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals remains uncertain after he suffers a broken pinky finger, with multiple reports describing surgery and ongoing questions about his availability. Several outlets report that Robinson undergoes surgery on his fractured pinky—described as a right pinky in some coverage—while the Knicks continue to assess whether he can return in time for Wednesday’s Game 1. Reports also note that Robinson’s participation in team activities varies by day, including not taking part in certain practices before later practicing and being listed as questionable. The Athletic reports Robinson practices with the injury ahead of Game 1, while other outlets describe his status as murky or unchanged as the Finals date approaches. The Knicks’ coaching and medical staff are monitoring his recovery and likely consider his ability to suit up and play with the finger injury. The Athletic also frames Robinson as an important reserve option for the Knicks. Overall, sources consistently indicate that the broken pinky and recent surgery create doubt around his immediate availability for Game 1, even as practice activity provides some optimism.
