Mitchell Robinson has been ruled out for the Knicks again as ankle concerns grow

The Knicks will be without Mitchell Robinson again.

He missed the Knicks’ game against the Celtics on Friday night at the Garden, missing his second straight game with a left ankle injury.

Worryingly, Robinson’s left ankle, which has undergone two surgeries over the past two years, has already caused him to miss games.

But coach Mike Brown insists Robinson has not suffered a new injury and that was always part of the plan.

He’s not worried it’s a bigger problem.

“I don’t think about those things,” Brown said Wednesday. “I’m letting our medical team handle it. I’ll take the lead after they give me the floor because that’s their job. As for me, I’m not an expert in that.”

Ariel Hochborty started at center in place of Robinson in the Knicks’ opening night win On the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

He scored two points and grabbed five rebounds in 18 minutes.

Josh Hart (lumbar sprains) and Karl-Anthony Towns (right quad strain) are questionable, while OG Anunoby (left ankle sprain) is probable. Hart missed Wednesday’s game, while Towns and Anunoby started.

Towns revealed after the game that he suffered a grade 2 strain in his right quad, saying he was in pain while playing.

“It’s not an easy thing to deal with,” Towns said after the game. “We achieved that tonight. I thought the fans respected the effort I put in to play tonight, and my teammates did as well. So shout out to them for supporting me and understanding the situation I was in.”
