Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: May be eyeing pre-break return
The Knicks are optimistic that Robinson (ankle) will be ready to make his season debut by early-to-mid-February, Ian Begley of SNY.tv reports.
New York has yet to issue a formal update on Robinson as he works his way back from May 13 surgery on his left ankle, but Begley spotted the 26-year-old center in the Knicks' locker room during Monday's win over the Hawks and relays that Robinson looked noticeably slimmer than his listed weight of 278 pounds from the 2023-24 season. Begley's observation could indicate that the big man has been staying on top of his conditioning, but as of last week, Robinson hadn't yet resumed sprinting on his surgically repaired ankle. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has previously intimated that Robinson will start practicing by the end of the month, and if that comes to fruition, a return shortly before the All-Star break could be in the cards. Once healthy, Robinson will likely supplant Precious Achiuwa as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not yet practicing
Robinson (ankle) has yet to begin running at full speed but is expected to be cleared for full practice at some point in January, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Robinson is recovering from offseason ankle surgery but appears to still be multiple weeks from suiting up for games. The 26-year-old big man hasn't appeared in a game this season, allowing for Precious Achiuwa to operate as the Knicks' backup center. Robinson shouldn't be expected back until at least late January.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Likely out through late January
Robinson (foot) is unlikely to be cleared for game action until "at least late January," Shams Charania reported Wednesday on ESPN's "NBA Today" program.
Robinson has been sidelined all season after requiring a pair of procedures on his left ankle, with the most recent surgery coming back in mid-May. The 26-year-old has yet to be cleared for practice, and the Knicks apparently aren't planning on the big man being ready to contribute for at least another month or two. Karl-Anthony Towns has started at center all season after mostly playing power forward with Minnesota in 2023-24, and the Knicks are likely envisioning Robinson filling a backup role once he's back up to full speed. In the meantime, Precious Achiuwa will likely serve as Towns' primary backup, while also occasionally sharing the court with him.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not yet cleared for practice
Robinson (ankle) has not been cleared to begin basketball activities, with coach Tom Thibodeau noting that the big man is only shooting thus far, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Robinson' troublesome left ankle, which was most recently surgically repaired in May, continues to yield a slow return to action, although no setbacks have been reported. Robinson's game is solely dependent on his athleticism and movement skills defensively, so a comprehensive increase in on-court reps will be needed prior to estimating his return.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: To miss start of season
Robinson (ankle) will not be ready for the beginning of the NBA season, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Robinson is coming off two procedures on his left ankle, with the most recent surgery taking place on May 14. According to Begley, a return in December or January could be on the table depending on how the rehab process goes, as neither Robinson nor the Knicks want to rush the process to make sure that the center is at full strength before getting clearance. With Robinson sidelined to begin the season, Julius Randle could spend plenty of time at center in smaller lineups, while Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims will have more opportunities to earn meaningful minutes.
