Mitchell Robinson suffered a broken right pinky finger earlier this week, according to James L. Edwards III and Fred Katz of The Athletic, who report that there’s no timetable for the Knicks center’s return.

It’s unclear how Robinson broke his pinky, per The Athletic.

The injury news has been confirmed by several other outlets, including ESPN (Twitter link).

While the unknown of no return timeline may seem a little ominous, that doesn’t necessarily mean the impending free agent will miss any of the NBA Finals, with New York set to face either Oklahoma City or San Antonio on Wednesday for Game 1. It simply means his availability is currently unclear.

Robinson, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his eight years in the league, made 60 regular season appearances in 2025/26, his most since ’21/22. The 7’0″ big man averaged 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals in 19.6 minutes, leading the league in offensive rebounding percentage and ranking in fourth in offensive rebounds per game (4.2), note Edwards and Katz.
