Knicks' Plan for Mitchell Robinson's Absence
Mitchell Robinson will miss time during the regular season, and according to Knicks coach Mike Brown, this could lead to an opportunity for Ariel Hukporti.
The New York Knicks are already managing Mitchell Robinson's workload, which is a necessary yet risky plan. The team is expected 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.
This decision could be a significant vote of confidence for Hukporti. The Knicks are considering duplicating Mitchell Robinson's role with Hukporti or Yabusele when he is absent.
