  • Out for the season
    Robinson suffered a stress injury to his left ankle which will sideline him for at least 6-to-8 weeks, the Knicks announced Tuesday.

    Advice: This is a brutal blow for the Knicks as it ends Robinson's 2023-24 campaign. Robinson will not need surgery and is expected to make a full recovery before training camp. Robinson made just 31 appearances this season, posting averages of 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 24.8 minutes. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
  • Shams: Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out 6-8 weeks
    Mitchell Robinson has sustained a stress injury in his left ankle and will miss six-to-eight weeks, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

    Advice: Robinson’s season is likely done, since the earliest he could return would be Game 6 of the NBA Finals, based on this timeline. He only played 12 minutes in Game 1 of this series, with Isaiah Hartenstein logging the majority of the minutes at center. Precious Achiuwa may log a few minutes off the bench, but Hartenstein will continue to be the primary center option. Rotoworld Today, 5:18 pm

    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Celtics matchup

    Advice: Allen is set to miss a third consecutive contest after suffering a rib injury against Orlando in the first round.

  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out Wednesday vs. Pacers
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury management) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s Knicks-Pacers matchup.

    Advice: Robison was a non-factor in Game 1 of the second round and only totaled two points with two rebounds in 12 minutes. His absence will give Precious Achiuwa a chance to break into the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 pm
  • Won't play Wednesday
    Robinson is listed as out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers due to left ankle injury management.

    Advice: Robinson logged 12 minutes in Game 1 but seemingly aggravated the surgically repaired ankle that has bothered him throughout the playoffs. Precious Achiuwa will likely receive increased playing time in Robinson's absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up is Game 3 on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
  • Exercises player option
    Wood exercised his $3 million player option for the 2024-25 season Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Wood was a sporadic part of the rotation in Los Angeles this season, appearing in 50 games with averages of 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. There could potentially be a lot of changes for the Lakers this offseason depending on whether or not LeBron James picks up his player option, so it's difficult to project Wood's role for next season at the moment.

  • Nears triple-double in Game 2 loss
    Jokic amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 106-80 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Jokic can change a game by himself at any point of a contest and is dominant enough to carry Denver to victory on a regular basis, but he hasn't been able to do it in the first two games of the current series. The two-time MVP winner is averaging 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game through seven playoff contests. While he remains an absolute stud in fantasy regardless of what happens with the Nuggets as a team, he needs his teammates to take a step forward to avoid an early exit in their quest to win back-to-back NBA titles.
