The Knicks center underwent surgery Thursday at the Hospital for Special Surgery after tests revealed he suffered a fractured right thumb.
. The 7-foot center will be reevaluated in three weeks, the team said, but he likely will be out for much longer, beginning with Friday’s road game against the Hawks.
That duo likely will split time in Robinson’s absence, and Tom Thibodeau said Julius Randle also can play some minutes at center, with the coach employing a smaller lineup late in Wednesday’s loss. Robinson, who signed a four-year contract extension worth $60 million last summer, then made 28 consecutive starts, averaging 7.9 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots in 29.4 minutes per game. He also boasts the best net rating among Knicks regulars – with the team outscoring opponents by 8.2 points per 100 possessions when he is on the court, while getting outscored by opposing teams by 1.1 points per 100 possessions when he is off the court.
