The oft-injured center hurt his ankle on a put-back score. He was immediately taken out of the game as he hobbled back on defense.

Robinson has been an essential piece to the Knicks’ lineup over the past few seasons. He’s the backup center to Karl-Anthony Towns, but his value as an offensive rebounder and defender is greater than that of a typical bench player.

Robinson had four points and two rebounds in four minutes before exiting.
