There’s a lot for New York Knicks fans to look forward to after the All-Star break, especially the return of Mitchell Robinson. The starting center has been sidelined since he fractured his right thumb on Jan. 18 against the Wizards.
Ironically enough, New York’s first game after the break will be against Washington at Capital One Arena. The Knicks are 1-1 against the Wizards this season with the most recent game being a 116-105 loss when Robinson was injured and left the game in the first half.
