00:00this is a tough blow for the Knicks. Mitchell Robinson was fourth in the league in offensive
00:04rebounds per game at just over four a game, but first in the league in offensive rebounding
00:10percentage, just over 20% of his rebounds were offensive rebounds. So this is a guy who's been
00:14impactful on the glass. We know what he can do defensively. Yes, he's had his struggles at the
00:19free throw line, but the Knicks are now going to be without Mitchell Robinson. We do not know for
00:25how long. There was no timetable for his return. According to the reporting, we first heard this
00:29reporting from The Athletic. So it'll be very interesting. Is he able to play in this series
00:34at all? Now with breaks, you don't know how things work out. You have to see what happens when that
00:39swelling goes down in the finger or whatever that's broken. So you have to see how that goes.
00:45For now, Knicks fans have to think that it's just next man up. And this does impact the Knicks in
00:51a
00:51major way. Now you have to go to Ariel Haporty, the center who's going to get major minutes here.
00:57And it's only long, just under 50 minutes here in the playoffs. The Knicks no longer have the
01:02opportunity to go to their double big lineup that they've used often with Cat and Mitchell Robinson.
01:08And I think really where the Knicks are going to feel it is we know how Mitchell Robinson could
01:12change games, but this is now a new challenge for the Knicks.
