When the New York Knicks first announced that 7-foot big man Mitchell Robinson would require ankle surgery, his initial recovery timeline was estimated at 8-10 weeks. Eight weeks at the low end would put him at an evaluation in February, with a chance to return for a playoff push around March.
Now, The Athletic's Shams Charania is reporting that the Knicks have applied for a $7.8 million Disabled Player Exception as Robinson is now being deemed done for the season. The original estimation was already a massive blow for the Knicks, but at least they could've gotten Robinson back at some point. Now, that will likely not be the case.
