Will play in Game 3
Robinson (illness) will play in Game 3 against the 76ers on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Robinson missed Wednesday's Game 2 win with an illness, but he'll be back in action Friday, and should see his usual minutes behind Karl-Anthony Towns. Robinson is averaging 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game this postseason.

Ruled out Wednesday
Robinson (illness) is out Wednesday for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Analysis
Robinson will hope to feel better in time for Game 3 on Friday, when the series flips to Philadelphia. Fresh off pulling down a postseason-high nine boards in Game 1, Ariel Hukporti should assume the top backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday.
