NEW YORK — New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will be out until after next month's All-Star break after having surgery on Tuesday (Wednesday, Manila time) to repair a broken right hand.
The Knicks said Robinson had the procedure at the Hospital for Special Surgery and would be reevaluated after the All-Star break, which is scheduled for March 5-10.
Robinson was hurt last Friday in Washington when he banged his hand trying to block a shot. The Knicks have won both games in his absence.
Robinson shot an NBA-record 74.2% from the field last season and was hitting 66%, tops in the league, when he was hurt. His 1.52 blocks per game rank ninth.
