Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson practiced on Friday in San Francisco, and was listed as questionable Saturday. Jericho Sims has thrived in his absence.
PHOENIX — Mitchell Robinson rejoined the Knicks on the practice court Friday in San Francisco, and was listed as questionable Saturday. That significant step led coach Tom Thibodeau to believe the team’s starting center is “a lot closer” to returning from the knee injury that has sidelined him for the past eight games.
“Yeah, the athleticism, great feet. Gives you the opportunity to switch more [on the defensive end],” Thibodeau said of Sims. “Offensively, the pressure on the rim. Very good playmaker on short rolls. We still haven’t seen it in the games, but we’ve seen it in practice. He’s got a real good feel for it.”
“I’ve always felt comfortable stepping out on smaller guards and playing good defense, by sliding my feet and moving my feet,” Sims said. “I’m sure if [opposing players] don’t know me, they really aren’t expecting me to do that.”
