Mitchell Robinson broke his right pinky at home while the Knicks were off, an injury that occurred before New York swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 28-year-old center is listed as questionable for Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, scheduled for Wednesday.

A video posted by SNY Knicks on June 2, 2026, showed Robinson participating in shooting drills in San Antonio while wearing a protective glove.
No other Knicks players appear on the injury report ahead of the series opener. Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson provided an update on guard De'Aaron Fox, who has dealt with a lingering right ankle sprain since the second round of the playoffs. The Spurs advanced to the Finals after a Game 7 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Knicks reached the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. The Spurs reached the conference finals for the first time in 12 years. Both teams enter the series aiming to end long championship droughts.
If Robinson is unavailable, Karl-Anthony Towns would likely see an expanded role. 6 stocks per game during the 2026 playoffs. 7 blocks per game.
