Mitchell Robinson

Mitchell Robinson is the final year of his contract, they didn t agree to an extension, and historically the Knicks have traded players in similar situations before allowing them to walk in free agency.

Towns missed Sunday's game against Orlando, which allowed Mitchell Robinson to move into the starting unit. He'll head back to the bench with Towns back. KAT was able to practice on Monday, so it doesn't come as a surprise that he'll be available with a trip to Las Vegas on the line.

Towns' status for Tuesday's game against Toronto is still up in the air, but his return to practice is a good sign. On Sunday, Mitchell Robinson started and played a season-high 25 minutes, while Ariel Hukporti filled the 23 minutes that Robinson was on the bench. Towns' return would likely push Robinson to the bench and Hukporti back out of the rotation.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) ruled out, Robinson will take over the starting center spot. He's worth a look as a streaming option for Sunday's seven-game slate.

Robinson filled in for Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and made the most of his opportunity. The big man led all players in rebounds and did what he normally does, providing efficient shooting with just one turnover. He corralled eight offensive boards, helping New York get some second-chance looks in the close victory. Robinson should remain a starter until KAT is cleared to return.
