However, despite uncertainty regarding his availability, he was cleared to suit up for Game 1, finishing with two points and six rebounds across 13 minutes.

Cleared to play in Game 1
Robinson (finger) will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus San Antonio on Wednesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Robinson is dealing with a fractured metacarpal in his right hand, though it won't keep him off the floor to begin the series. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals across 14.2 minutes throughout the postseason. Although Robinson hasn't seen consistent action during the playoffs, he may need to be more involved moving ahead if the Knicks have trouble keeping Victor Wembanyama and company off the glass.

Expected to play
Robinson (finger) is expected to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Spurs on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analyse
Robinson fully practiced Tuesday and appears ready to reprise his role as the backup center. Although he's listed as questionable, there's been a lot of optimism about his status for the better part of a week.

Iffy for Game 1
Robinson (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Spurs, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Analyse
Robinson sustained a broken right pinky finger Thursday and underwent surgery, though he participated in Tuesday's practice and was seen shooting with the injured hand, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic. Shams Charania of ESPN reported Friday that the big man is pushing to play in Game 1, and the Knicks will likely evaluate him closer to tipoff before making a final decision on his status. If Robinson is unable to suit up, Ariel Hukporti and Mohamed Diawara would be candidates to enter the rotation behind Karl-Anthony Towns.
