The New York Knicks lead their best-of-seven series against the Philadelphia 76ers, 2-1, and they'll need Mitchell Robinson to help them. Both teams are set to battle against each other again on Sunday, April 28, for Game 4, and the Knicks hope to avoid the Sixers getting momentum by equalizing the series.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, Mitchell Robinson is ruled out for the game. Earlier he reported, Robinson was warming up with the intention of playing Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. The final decision turmed out to be a concern for Knicks as they face 76ers for game 4.
The seven-footer was assessed by doctors before the game. For the time being, it appears that Isaiah Hartenstein will continue to start for the Knicks in Game 4.
Aside from Robinson, Julius Randle is already ruled out for the rest of the season.
