Hated Knicks rival may be responsible for Mitchell Robinson's ankle stress injury

New York Knicks face more injury setbacks with Mitchell Robinson out for rest of playoffs due to stress fracture. Embiid blamed.

The New York Knicks faced a tough challenge in their second-round series against the Pacers, missing key players like Julius Randle and Bojan Bogdanovic due to injuries. Despite a thin bench that was outscored significantly in Game 1, the Knicks managed to secure a win. However, things took a turn for the worse in Game 2 as Mitchell Robinson was ruled out with a left ankle injury. It was later revealed that Robinson had suffered a stress injury and would be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

Robinson, who had previously expressed frustration on social media about his injury, seemed to be targeting Joel Embiid for his role in the incident. Fans also directed their anger towards Embiid, who had a history of questionable plays against Robinson. The stress fracture in Robinson's ankle was attributed to repetitive force over time, rather than a single game incident.

Despite returning from ankle surgery earlier in the season, Robinson struggled with lingering issues and was clearly not at full strength. Embiid's actions in the playoffs only exacerbated the situation, leading to Robinson's extended absence. While Embiid may not be solely responsible for Robinson's injury, his questionable plays have certainly not gone unnoticed by fans and critics alike.

As Robinson looks ahead to recovery and a return to full health next season, the focus shifts to his resilience and determination to overcome adversity. Knicks fans can take solace in the fact that Robinson played a crucial role in the team's success this season, and will be a force to be reckoned with once he returns to the court. Embiid, on the other hand, will have to answer for his actions and reputation as a player who plays on the edge.
