Robinson hurt his ankle on Sunday and could miss further games. He will miss the rest of the game due to a sprained ankle, according to the Knicks.
The Knicks were on a three-game losing streak entering the contest, having lost straight home games to the Hornets, Timberwolves, and Pelicans.
The Knicks are now the Eastern Conference’s 11th seed, with a 22-24 record in 46 games.
Mitchell Robinson headed to the locker room with an ankle injury during the New York Knicks game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Robinson has been out with an ankle injury this season, and he also had a fractured hand and foot last year.
Despite the fact that injuries have kept him from reaching his full potential, he remains a key part of New York’s rotation due to his interior defense.
His ability to defend the rim and dominate the boards is crucial, especially when the Knicks go up against some of the league’s greatest teams.
Last season, he averaged 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks a game while shooting 65.3 percent from the field, and this season, he averaged 8.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 77.0 percent from the field.
