Mitchell Robinson hasn\u2019t spoken with the media since undergoing ankle surgery in May, but every now and then, he offers an update on social media on a rehabilitation process that now has stretched into the second half of the Knicks\u2019 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The injured center has had issues with his conditioning during injury downtime in the past, but the 7-footer posted a video on his Instagram story Friday showing his weight at 268.2 pounds while he awaits to be cleared to resume practicing with the team, perhaps before the end of this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust working individually right now. So he hasn\u2019t been cleared. There will be a progression and it starts with 1 on 0, which is really where he is right now,\u201d Tom Thibodeau said Friday about Robinson before the Knicks\u2019 116-99 loss to the Timberwolves. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t been cleared for contact yet. So that will be the next phase.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old Robinson has acknowledged in the past that his weight had ballooned to more than 280 pounds, so the Knicks appear happy with his current conditioning efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been very pleased with the way he\u2019s approached the rehab. Very diligent. Working hard,\u201d Thibodeau added. \u201cHe\u2019s doing all he can every day. Working on his conditioning. So he\u2019s done a good job. And then we focus on what we have to do with the team right now and who\u2019s available, preparing for each game. But he\u2019s done a really good job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting center Karl-Anthony Towns sat out his second straight game \u2014 in what would have been his first clash at the Garden against his former team \u2014 due to a sprain and a bone chip in his right thumb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked if he\u2019s envisioned playing Towns alongside Robinson at times once the latter returns \u2014 as Minnesota did last year with Towns at power forward alongside center Rudy Gobert \u2014 Thibodeau responded, that\u2019s \u201cobviously a possibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel like with Karl\u2019s comfortable doing both, playing both positions. So we feel like it will be an added weapon for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Robinson will concentrate on staying in shape and getting himself ready to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s done a really good job,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cObviously he\u2019s in the pool a lot. So he\u2019s doing that type of stuff. On a bike. The low-impact stuff. Diet is a big part of that, as well. And he\u2019s lifting. He\u2019s doing a lot of things like that. Whatever he can do, he\u2019s done, which is good. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s making good progress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
