Mitchell Robinson Out Again for Knicks Amid Ankle Injury Concerns

Eric Robinson of the Carolina Hurricanes is expected to be out for an extended period due to an upper body injury sustained during a game against the Avalanche, with teammate William Carrier also sidelined for lower body issues. Both players may need to be placed on injured reserve, prompting roster adjustments including bringing up depth forwards from the AHL. Robinson had scored his third goal of the season before exiting, compounding the Hurricanes' challenges on their current road trip. Meanwhile, in the NBA, New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is sidelined again with left ankle injury management, missing consecutive games amid concerns due to his history of ankle surgeries. Knicks coach Mike Brown emphasized that Robinson's absence was planned and not due to a new injury, though other team members like Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns are also dealing with injuries, affecting the team's lineup. These injury developments are impacting both teams' abilities to field full-strength lineups in upcoming games.
