Mitchell Robinson had just a black bandaid on his broken right pinky Tuesday when he arrived to Frost Bank Center in San Antonio to practice on the eve of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

When practice began he had a thin protective black sleeve on his right hand.<\/p>\n

The longest-tenured Knick was not among those scheduled to speak to the media Tuesday since he is inujured.<\/p>\n

Robinson underwent surgery after breaking the pinky and is hoping to play in Game 1, although it\u2019s uncertain where he will suit up for Wednesday\u2019s game and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Post\u2019s Stefan Bondy previously reported that Robinson had fractured his fifth metacarpal, which is the bone that connects the pinky to the wrist.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown how he suffered the injury, although Brown clarified that Robinson did not suffer the injury in a game nor during a practice.<\/p>\n

He completed individual work each of the last two days at Knicks practice, and wore a protective brace on his right hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just waiting on the medical staff,\u201d Brown said Monday. \u201cHe just did individual work today. I\u2019m waiting on the medical staff to let me know what the next step is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robinson\u2019s size and rebound prowess is needed against Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, especially since Karl-Anthony Towns can run into foul trouble.<\/p>\n

He is averaging 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.6 blocks across 13 playoff games this year, leaving marks on games on the boards although teams have successfully employed hack-a-Mitch strategies.<\/p>\n

Robinson missed Game 2 against the 76ers in the second round.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

While he has not commented on the injury, he did post a message to Instagram on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t thank you guys enough for the love and support most of you bring especially at a time like this in my life,\u201d Robinson wrote. \u201cIt makes everything in fighting for 100x easier to deal with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ones that want to see me down and hurt all I gotta say for you is f\u2013k you. And last the ones that say they love and care about me but can\u2019t be there for me when I need them but I\u2019m always there to when they need me god get you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
