New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Thursday's postseason game against the 76ers. Robinson was two points shy of a double-double in Game 1. He also had four blocks in that one. However, things were different in Game 2, with the 26-year-old finishing with just one point and four boards. With that said, he could be limited even if he's cleared to suit up, meaning DFS managers may want to keep him out of their lineups. Instead, Isaiah Hartenstein, amassing 14 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks on Monday night, should be the preferred fantasy option.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson cooled off in the Game 2 win over the Sixers. The big man logged 30 minutes in Game 1 to finish with eight points, 12 rebounds, four blocks, and one steal. However, he played only 18 minutes on Monday night and wasn't nearly as productive. Robinson could bounce back at some point in this series. Yet, with Isaiah Hartenstein in the equation, Robinson will remain a risky DFS option for Game 3 on Thursday evening.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson appears to be fine heading into the postseason. The big man was able to practice without any issues on Tuesday, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. He continued by saying Robinson is fine after sitting out the second half of Sunday's game. This is good news for the Knicks who begin their first-round series against an unknown opponent on Saturday.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Robinson has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable coming into this game. The assumption is that Robinson will continue coming off the bench as the Knicks are trying to manage his workload. Despite not starting, Robinson should still be a valuable asset due to his defensive ability.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the visiting Kings. After missing over three months because of ankle surgery, he finally returned to the lineup. However, he missed Sunday's loss to OKC but managed to suit up against the Heat on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Robinson, logged just 10 minutes and finished with one rebound and one steal while being held scoreless. If he plays, he could see more work, although presumably not much more than 15 minutes. As a result, Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa should continue to split most of the work in the middle. But with that in mind, Hartenstein or Achiuwa aren't consistent fantasy options.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will play on Tuesday against Miami. The 26-year-old missed over three months due to ankle surgery. However, after appearing in two games, he didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to OKC. But Mitchell will shed the questionable tag and get back in the lineup versus the Heat. However, he'll likely see between 15-20 minutes of action, although that's enough to negatively impact Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa's fantasy outlooks.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's showdown with Miami. After sitting out for over three months because of left ankle surgery, he has appeared in two games. However, the 2018 No. 26 overall pick aggravated the issue, keeping him off the floor for Sunday's one-point loss to Oklahoma City. If Mitchell is available, he'll likely see around 15-20 minutes of work, meaning his fantasy expectations are limited. But if he's not, Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa will presumably take care of business underneath the rim. While Hartenstein will likely get more action, DFS managers should still keep Achiuwa on the radar.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (wrist) will play against the Thunder on Sunday, while fellow big Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out. Robinson appeared to hurt his left ankle again on Friday versus San Antonio. This was only his second appearance for the Knicks since recovering from ankle surgery. Hartenstein is dealing with a right wrist sprain but has been upgraded from probable to available. He's set to play a big part once more without Robinson, while Precious Achiuwa should get a boost of playing time as well. This is a favorable matchup for the Knicks frontcourt, as Oklahoma City struggles on the glass.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is officially available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. After recovering from ankle surgery, he will make his first appearance since Dec. 8. New York's defensive anchor played a massive role at the start of the campaign, but it's likely he will return with some kind of a minutes restriction, which will limit his fantasy value on Wednesday. Robinson will eat into the minutes of Isaiah Hartenstein, who's been the Knicks' starter in the middle during his absence.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is expected to be active and available to play in Wednesday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. Upgraded to questionable on Wednesday morning, Robinson now moves to the cusp of a return following ankle surgery that's kept him out since Dec. 8. The shot-blocking big man is going to face minutes restrictions upon his return to the floor for the 43-28 Knicks, so he won't be a recommended fantasy option in season-long or DFS settings in his first game back, despite a matchup against a Raptors bunch allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. Isaiah Hartenstein has filled in admirably down low in the Big Apple, averaging 8.1 points on 65.0% shooting from the field, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.5 combined steals plus blocks over 39 starts this season, but he has the most to lose from a fantasy perspective with Robinson back in the mix.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, head coach Tom Thibodeau revealed on Tuesday. Robinson underwent surgery on his left ankle in December. Getting out of the walking boot is a positive sign of his progression, but Robinson has yet to start running, meaning it will still take time before he's ready to return to action. The Knicks big man will miss a 35th consecutive game on Thursday versus Philadelphia. Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has stepped up well as Robinson's understudy and is set to return from a three-game absence on Thursday.

The NBA is denying the New York Knicks a $7.8 million Disabled Player Exception for the loss of center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) because there's optimism that Robinson can return from ankle surgery to play late in the regular season. The Knicks anticipated that Robinson would miss the rest of the year after undergoing ankle surgery as of Dec. 20, but they now hope to get back one of league's best rim protectors at some point likely around the spring. Isaiah Hartenstein has presented top-50 fantasy value in nine-category leagues during Robinson's absence, averaging 8.2 points on 64.6% shooting from the field, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 3.4 combined steals plus blocks in 32.8 minutes over 16 games since Dec. 11. Robinson is suddenly worth picking up off waiver wires where he was discarded for teams that can afford the stash, but the impact of his potential return may not be felt very much in fantasy.

The New York Knicks expect center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) to miss the remainder of the season after the big man recently underwent surgery on his left ankle. Robinson's absence for the rest of the year is a big blow to New York's interior defense as well as their paint scoring. The 25-year-old rim protector was enjoying a career year in rebounding with 10.3 boards (5.3 offensive) in 29.2 minutes per game over 21 starts in the Big Apple, adding 6.2 points, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks. Robinson's void leaves Isaiah Hartenstein with a clear pathway to a featured role whether it be as a starter or a reserve. Hartenstein looks like a must-roster fantasy player from here on out, totaling 8.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.2 swats, and 1.8 assists in 30.9 minutes per game over his last six contests. Jericho Sims (ankle) and Taj Gibson, a head coach Tom Thibodeau favorite, will help fill Robinson's gap, but the Knicks could be active at February's upcoming trade deadline.

The New York Knicks announced on Monday that center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will have left ankle surgery this week and be re-evaluated in 8-to-10 weeks. The injury held Robinson to 19 minutes in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, and he's now set to be sidelined until the All-Star break. It's a big hit for New York's integrity down low, as the 25-year-old defensive anchor was averaging 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks in 29.2 minutes over 21 games. Robinson is also leading the NBA with 112 offensive rebounds this season. Isaiah Hartenstein is Monday's hottest waiver-wire fantasy add on Yahoo, but head coach Tom Thibodeau evenly distributed his minutes with Jericho Sims when Robinson was on the shelf last year. Over 23 games without Robinson in 2022-23, Hartenstein averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 boards, and 1.1 swats in 23.5 minutes, while Sims averaged 4.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 0.7 rejections in 23.1 minutes.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) may not play in Monday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. Per Fred Katz of The Athletic, the 25-year-old will require "additional testing" on the ankle he injured in Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. At this point, fantasy managers are used to this sort of thing from the oft-injured center, considering he's missed his share of time over the years. Nonetheless, an official designation has yet to be made public, although it's more than possible Mitchell will miss more than just a game or two. If he does, Isaiah Hartenstein could be in line for more work. On the other hand, Jericho Sims, who started 16 times last season, could reenter the rotation. Of course, both men have a way to go before earning a spot on most fantasy rosters.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has always seemed to be the odd man out when it came to the team's core. His defensive abilities have been great both on the court and for fantasy purposes, but he wasn't able to contribute that much outside of that area. The Knicks tried to flip him into Jrue Holiday according to Ian Begley of SNY. They called the Trail Blazers after they acquired Holiday, but they ultimately took the Celtics package that included Malcolm Brogdon and Robert Williams III. It was reported before that the Knicks were looking for multiple firsts in return for Robinson, so that price may be changing.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson could be traded in a "bigger package," an anonymous Eastern Conference general manager has told NBA insider Sean Deveney. The Knicks allegedly aren't actively looking to trade Robinson, and he's not a very attractive piece for teams on his own, but the seven-footer could be part of a bigger offseason trade package. Robinson just finished the first season of a four-year, $60 million contract he signed with the Knicks last summer. The 25-year-old had an up-and-down campaign, averaging 7.4 points on 67 percent shooting with 9.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson couldn't get anything going in the Game 2 win over the Heat. He finished with only six points and five rebounds, logging just 21 minutes. Even worse, he went 2-for-6 from behind the charity stripe. Mitchell has struggled offensively during this series, averaging 6.5 points while sinking a laughable 30% of his tries from the free throw line. At this rate, DFS managers should think twice before putting him into the lineup on Saturday for Game 3.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The big man will play in this game after being considered questionable earlier in the day. He finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks during this last game. Robinson should be a fine streaming option, assuming he's fully healthy for this game. Isaiah Hartenstein will resume his normal role off the bench with Robinson expected to start on Thursday.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando. The 24-year-old had a good time versus Miami on Wednesday with 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks, but it looks like Robinson also injured his right knee in the contest. Isaiah Hartenstein is set to move to the starting unit if Robinson can't play. He has previously made seven starts this season, averaging 6.7 points and 7.6 rebounds.
