Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Listed questionable for Thursday
Rotowire

With Thursday's matchup being the front end of a back-to-back, the Knicks could opt to hold Robinson out of action as the veteran big man works his way back from ankle surgery. Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) will be available against Los Angeles, so New York could turn to Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) to handle the backup center minutes if he's available and Robinson sits out.

Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Light role in season debut
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) recorded six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 114-113 win over the Grizzlies.
Making his season debut after missing the Knicks' first 58 games while recovering from offseason surgery on his left ankle, Robinson immediately overtook Precious Achiuwa (four minutes) as the top backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), who returned from a one-game absence of his own. Though Robinson presumably headed into Friday's game with a minutes restriction in mind, he's unlikely to see his playing time climb substantially so long as Towns remains available. Instead, Robinson's main utility in fantasy for the rest of the season will come as a streaming option for rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage for games in which Towns is sidelined.
