New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is expected to be available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals at the San Antonio Spurs after fully participating in practice Tuesday following right hand surgery, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday.
Robinson, who fractured the fifth metacarpal bone in his right hand, is listed as questionable for the game Wednesday night, New York's first Finals appearance since 1999. He participated in light shooting and dribbling drills during an open practice Tuesday and wore a black wrap over his shooting hand and right wrist.
Robinson, 28, has appeared in 13 of the Knicks' 14 playoff games this season, averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes off the bench. He missed Game 2 of New York's Eastern Conference semifinal sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness.
The Knicks are seeking their first NBA championship since 1973.
