Injury Report: Knicks Lose Barrett, Mitchell Robinson to Injuries

Barrett Out with Ankle Sprain, Robinson with Knee Injury

The New York Knicks have been dealt a major blow with the injuries to RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson. Barrett suffered an ankle sprain in the Knicks' loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, while Robinson injured his knee in the same game. Barrett is expected to miss the next two to three weeks, while Robinson's timetable is still being determined. The injuries are a significant loss for the Knicks, who are already struggling to stay in the playoff race. Barrett is the Knicks' leading scorer and has been a key part of their success this season. Robinson is one of the best young defenders in the NBA and has been a major factor in the Knicks' improved defense this season. The Knicks will now have to find a way to replace the production of Barrett and Robinson. They could move Alec Burks into the starting lineup or give more minutes to Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin. The Knicks are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 34-28. They are just 1.5 games out of the sixth seed, but they are also just 1.5 games out of the ninth seed. The Knicks have a tough schedule coming up, with games against the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Philadelphia 76ers in the next two weeks. They will need to find a way to win without Barrett and Robinson if they want to stay in the playoff race.
