Dr. Laith M. Jazrawi, Chief of the Divison of Sports Medicine at NYU Langone Orthopedics, joins New York Post Sports anchor Brandon London for this week's 'Injury Report.' The two discuss Nets' Cam Thomas' hamstring strain and what this means moving forward.
As the clock nears zero on the only public timeline provided by the Knicks for Mitchell Robinson ’s recovery, Tom Thibodeau revealed for the first time that the center has been “running, jumping — doing all that stuff” but is still awaiting clearance for contact.
Asked if it were seriously still an option for Robinson to practice in the following two days, Thibodeau deflected while preaching patience. “Look, he’s doing well, really well,” the coach said. “I’m trusting the medical people. When he’s cleared, he’s cleared. We’re not gonna rush it, we’re gonna be patient. We’re just gonna take it step by step. Whether it’s this week, next week, the week after — wherever it falls, it falls.
“Obviously, we’re almost 50 games into it, so we have a pattern, rotation that we’re using. We know that there’s going to be an adjustment period coming back and whatever he could give us,” Thibodeau said. “Obviously, he’s not going to be playing starter’s minutes. He’s got to get acclimated to playing again. So whatever medical says, how he feels, there will be a ramp-up and we’ll go from there. We’re excited for whenever he does come back.
If Robinson plays again for the Knicks this season, the assumption, as Thibodeau indicated, is he’d come off the bench and provide the team with much-needed center depth.The three other reserves in the rotation were all guards — Landry Shamet, Miles McBride, Cam Payne — as Thibodeau runs hot-and-cold with center Jericho Sims.
