Robinson underwent surgery to for the stress fracture on May 13. Per SNY’s Ian Begley, Robinson is targeting a “December/January return date.” New York wants Robinson to be “100 percent healthy” before he plays this season. Robinson notably had surgery on a stress fracture in his ankle last December and proceeded to miss 50 games.

The Knicks have also reportedly said they don’t know if Robinson is “Dependable” and if they are able to rely on him all the time during the season.
