Knicks coach Mike Brown informed reporters Friday that Robinson did not maintain the damage in a sport or observe, and added that he’s conscious that Robinson has had surgical procedure.
“I don’t know much about the details, obviously I know that he had surgery and all that,” Brown said. “For me it’s the same thing, I don’t want to know. Just let me know if he can play and when he can play. Just like we normally would, we’re getting everybody else ready to go.”
He added: “For me, I’m always going with who’s available today and (Robinson) didn’t practice today, so we’re getting whoever we need ready to go.”
When a reporter requested Brown a follow-up inquiring precisely how Robinson was harm, a member of the Knicks’ media relations workers interrupted and said “we’re not going to get into specifics.”
Robinson reportedly plans to play. The NBA Finals start Wednesday, June 3. The Knicks are making ready to face the winner of the Western Conference finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.
