finally will open up some playing time for Obi Toppin in the Knicks’ frontcourt.
Robinson is slated to be reevaluated in three weeks — and expected to be sidelined beyond that — after undergoing surgery Thursday to repair a fractured right thumb, according to the Knicks. Thibodeau went with RJ Barrett at power forward in such a configuration late in Wednesday’s home loss to the Wizards, but Toppin also could see increased playing time with Robinson sidelined, beginning with Friday’s road game against the Hawks. Obi Toppin has played sparingly since returning from injury.The former lottery pick has recorded just 2.2 points per game on 22.2 percent shooting since returning to the rotation on Jan.
