New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is still progressing in his recovery from offseason ankle surgery and hasn't been cleared for full practice yet. Coach Tom Thibodeau provides an update on Robinson's rehab, noting his dedication and improved physical condition but emphasizing the need for patience.
ORLANDO — Approaching eight months since his last game, Mitchell Robinson still hasn’t started sprinting at full speed or been cleared for practice, according to Tom Thibodeau, who was nonetheless encouraged by the rehabilitation progress of his center.
“Light and lean” are important characteristics for Robinson, who needs to keep the pressure off his surgically repaired feet/ankles and struggled with conditioning while recovering from previous injuries.“Once we get through that part, then we do the contact and then probably be cleared for practice,” Thibodeau said.
