PHILADELPHIA — It was nothing personal, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau insisted. Cam Reddish merely fell out of favor due to his inconsistent play.
“Just coach’s decision,” Thibodeau said, when asked what changed. “When you get in there, you have the opportunity to play and you’ve got to play well and the team has to function well when you’re on the floor.”You won’t see Mitchell Robinson again before late February.Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau ruled out a return of his rim-protecting center, who is out after surgery on a fractured right thumb, before the All-Star break. Robinson said he may not be cleared for contract until then.
Robinson, wearing a splint on his right thumb, began to use his right hand this week in workouts and has been able to practice without contact. There is still some discomfort in the thumb, but not much pain. Robinson has been out since suffering the injury in a loss to the Wizards on Jan. 18, when he hit his right hand on the ball while going for a block.
