NEW YORK — New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has suffered a broken right pinky finger, according to multiple reports Thursday from ESPN and The Athletic. The team has not disclosed how or when the injury occurred, and there is currently no timetable for his return, raising the possibility that he could miss a portion or all of the NBA Finals. Robinson had been anchoring the Knicks’ second-unit defense and dominated the offensive glass during the regular season, posting a league-best 20.1% offensive rebounding percentage. Game 1 of the Finals is scheduled for Wednesday, June 3, with New York set to face either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs. NEW YORK — Robinson appeared in 60 regular-season games in 2026, his highest total since the 2021-22 campaign, and averaged 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 19.6 minutes while shooting 72.3% from the field as the backup center. He has continued to impact the offensive glass in the postseason, collecting 2.5 offensive rebounds per game in limited minutes, with most of his playoff shot attempts coming on putbacks or cuts. His absence leaves head coach Mike Brown relying on starter Karl-Anthony Towns and second-year big man Ariel Hukporti for frontcourt production as the Knicks chase their first NBA title since 1973 after a dominant playoff run that included double-digit wins in 11 of 12 victories and sweeps of the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
