Mitchell Robinson Breaks Pinky

The New York Knicks have been dealt a major blow ahead of the NBA Finals with news that center Mitchell Robinson has suffered a broken right pinky finger.

There is currently no timetable for his return, leaving the team's rotation in jeopardy for Game 1.

Robinson underwent surgery earlier this week but has expressed a desire to play through the injury if possible.

The defensive anchor's absence would be a significant loss as the Knicks prepare to face either the Spurs or the Thunder.

Fans and analysts are closely monitoring his recovery as the team aims for its first championship in decades.
