Mitchell Robinson played his fourth game back from a broken hand on Saturday evening. Now the center of the Knicks appears to be out for now with another broken body part.
Robinson suffered a fracture in his right foot midway through the first quarter against the Bucks in Milwaukee after coming down clumsily from a jump and eventually hopping off the floor. He will be reevaluated in New York on Sunday, the team said.
22-year-old Robinson had recently missed 15 games with a broken hand.
The Knicks were already without All-Star attacker Julius Randle (bruised right thigh). They still have Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson as backup centers.
Robinson’s crushing injury came as the Knicks leaned against making a big move for recently-bought center Andre Drummond, The Post’s Marc Berman reported. It’s possible that Robinson’s injury could change the Knicks’ plans.
According to ESPN, the Lakers have emerged as the front runners for Drummond.
