The New York Knicks listed Mitchell Robinson as probable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals due to a fractured finger.

Robinson played 13 minutes in Game 1, finishing with two points and six rebounds.

Robinson has yet to explain how he injured his finger. 

The New York Knicks listed Mitchell Robinson as questionable for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs as the center recovers from surgery on his broken finger.

Robinson is "resolute" in his desire to play in Game 1, but he must still be cleared by the Knicks' medical staff.

Robinson participated in light shooting and dribbling drills on Tuesday.

"He did some individual stuff [Monday]," Knicks coach Mike Brown said. "I'm about to talk to our medical people to see what he can do [Tuesday]."

The 28-year-old is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds off the bench this playoffs. 

New York Knicks coach Mike Brown said that Mitchell Robinson worked out individually at practice on Sunday.

Robinson underwent surgery on his broken pinkie last week. 

Brown had no updates on Robinson's status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, which starts on Wednesday.

Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes in the playoffs. 

Jalen Williams could return to the Oklahoma City Thunder lineup should they advance to the NBA Finals, according to head coach Mark Daigneault.

Williams was ruled out for Game 7 due to a left hamstring injury. 

"He's feeling about the same as he did," Daigneault said before Game 7. "He actually came out of the game pretty good for where he is in a normal rehab. Depending on what happens tonight, if we're fortunate enough to win and advance, he'll continue this rehab, and we'll take the same process as we go forward."

Game 1 of the NBA Finals starts on Wednesday.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving said on his Twitch stream that he was "close" to being 100% as he recovers from a torn ACL.

“I am definitely close to being over at 100 percent in terms of my ACL recovery,” Irving said.

“It’s been a while now…I’m so grateful that I’ve had the time to heal and just experiment with my body more on the court and off the court in the weight room and just pushing myself to the limit.”

Irving has been out since suffering the injury in March 2025. 

It has been reported that the Mavs are likely to receive trade interest in Irving this offseason, though new Mavs president Masai Ujiri also said he wants to see how Irving fits with Cooper Flagg. 

Jalen Williams has been ruled out of Game 7 by the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a left hamstring injury. Williams returned to the Oklahoma City lineup for Game 6, but played just 10 minutes in their loss at the San Antonio Spurs. 

Williams missed the final two games of the first round, the entire second round before returning for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Williams aggravated the injury in Game 2 and missed the next three games. 

“He’s been hellbent on trying to get himself to this point. I give him credit. He’s a big team guy, big competitor,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said of Williams after Game 6. “He’s obviously not 100 percent. He didn’t know what to expect; I didn’t know what to expect. So it was a matter of getting him out there in an insulated role and see what he could bring to the team. … He hasn’t done a full return to play the way that he would.”

Williams played in just 33 regular season games as he recovered from offseason wrist surgery along with a right hamstring injury.

Ajay Mitchell has also been ruled for Game 7 with a right calf strain.

Mitchell Robinson has undergone surgery on his broken right pinkie finger and plans to play Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Robinson will wear a brace on his hand in order to play in the series ahead of his free agency.

Robinson grabbed at his right hand and shook it when running down the court in the third quarter after attempting a rebound. Robinson continued to play off and on until the fourth quarter.

Robinson led the NBA in offensive rebound percentage during the regular season. However, Robinson is shooting just 30.2 percent from the free throw line during the playoffs.

Robinson averaged 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 19.6 minutes during the regular season.

Mitchell Robinson suffered a broken pinky finger on his right hand earlier this week and there is no timetable for his return ahead of Game 1 of the Finals on Tuesday. It is unclear how Robinson suffered the injury.

Robinson has figured to play a significant role in the Finals to match up against the bigs of either the Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio spurs.

Robinson averaged 4.2 offensive rebounds per game this season.

Robinson has struggled with injuries throughout his NBA career.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, though his injury designation has changed from left hamstring soreness to left hamstring strain. 

Williams left Game 2 against the Spurs with the injury.

Ajay Mitchell remains out with a right calf injury. Mitchell also missed Game 4 with the injury.

The series is tied at 2-2 ahead of Tuesday's Game 5. 

The Oklahoma City Thunder have ruled guard Ajay Mitchell out for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell was ruled out with a right calf strain. The injury was suffered during the Thunder's Game 3 victory over the Spurs.

Mitchell has stepped up for Oklahoma City in the absence of Jalen Williams throughout the playoffs. The second-year guard has averaged 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals during the Thunder's 10 playoff games.

Williams is expected to also be out for Oklahoma City as he deals with a left hamstring injury. That will leave Mark Daigneault to make some lineup decisions without a starting wing in Williams and his regular backup in Mitchell.

The Thunder lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. They're looking to take a commanding 3-1 lead before the series shifts back to Oklahoma City for Game 5.
