Robinson won’t even be re-evaluated for six-to-eight weeks, thus his injury-marred season is over. He underwent testing late this afternoon, which determined the extent of the injury, according to Ian Begley of SNY TV. He won’t require surgery, Begley added. Earlier in the evening, the team ruled him out for Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Pacers due to left ankle injury management. It’s now apparent the injury is much more serious. Robinson played just 12 minutes in New York’s Game 1 victory, contributing two points, two rebounds and an assist. He also missed one game during the first-round series against Philadelphia after spraining the same ankle. Robinson underwent left ankle surgery in December. He didn’t return until March 27.
