Mitchell Robinson, the New York Knicks center, provides a clearer public account of the hand injury he suffered during the team’s playoff run. Multiple reports say the injury involved a finger—described as his right pinkie—and that Robinson ultimately had surgery shortly before the NBA Finals. Despite the condition, Robinson continues to be described as playing through the injury during the Knicks’ postseason. According to reports, he participates in all five games of the Knicks’ championship run, even as the injury remained a factor leading up to the Finals. One outlet reports that Robinson finally details the previously unclear circumstances of the problem, while another specifies the timing of the surgery as occurring days before Game 1 of the Finals. Another report similarly says Robinson explains the finger injury before the Finals and frames his decision to continue playing as part of the team’s path to the title. Taken together, the sources agree on the basic timeline: an unexplained finger injury in the playoffs, surgery just before the Finals, and Robinson playing in all five games during the Knicks’ championship series run.
