Knicks' Plan for Mitchell Robinson's Absence
Mitchell Robinson will miss time during the regular season, according to Knicks coach Mike Brown. This could create an opportunity for Ariel Hukporti to break out.
The New York Knicks are already managing Mitchell Robinson's workload, which is necessary but also risky. The plan is to start Mitch alongside Karl-Anthony Towns.
Mike Brown suggested using Hukporti in Mitchell Robinson's place when he misses time, as reported by Steve Popper of Newsday.
- The coach considered two options: shifting to a smaller lineup with Hart or McBride, or duplicating Mitch with Hukporti or Yabusele.
This decision can be seen as a significant vote of confidence in Hukporti.
