Latest injury updates on Embiid, Anunoby, Hart and Robinson

Just hours before the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers take the field for the decisive Game 3 of their playoff series, some new updates have emerged regarding injuries to several key players.

The Sixers are in position to win on Friday night as they look to avoid falling into a 3-0 deficit against the Knicks. If they want to turn things around and try to tie the series this weekend, they’ll need to get seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid back on the court for Game 3.

The one-time NBA MVP missed Game 2 due to hip and ankle problems. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Embiid is listed as questionable for tonight’s game which tips off at 7:00 pm ET. However, Knicks has been dealing with far more health issues in recent days.

Hart and Robinson probable for Knicks vs. 76ers Game 3

One of the biggest stories in New York is the availability of forward OG Anunoby. He limped off in the final minutes of Wednesday’s game, went to the locker room and never returned. He was diagnosed with a hamstring strain, and reports claimed the Knicks were optimistic about him playing in Games 3 or 4.

Begley reports he is still listed as questionable for tonight. This likely means he will sit out Game 3, which many expected.

Along with Embiid, skilled Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was unavailable Wednesday due to an illness. However, Begley says he is on track to return in Game 3 and is still listed as probable in the latest injury report.

During Wednesday’s game, forward Josh Hart hit his thumb on a Sixers player while going after a rebound and was in severe pain. That’s saying something for a player as tough and durable as Hart. But according to X-Account New York Basketball, a key member of the roster is listed as probable for this evening’s matchup in Philly.

Report opens door to NY Knicks replacing Mitchell Robinson with St. John’s star in draft

A new report points to the New York Knicks potentially replacing veteran rim-protector Mitchell Robinson with St. John’s top star in 2025-26.

Robinson never had stats that jumped off the page. Even this season, he is averaging 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in just 19.6 minutes per night. However, for Knicks fans and rivals in the conference, they know the seven-foot player can make a big difference as an elite offensive rebounder, talented rim protector and lob threat.

That’s why New York gave the former second-round pick a huge raise four years ago in the form of a four-year, $60 million deal. However, with the valuable center in the final year of his contract, and the Knicks already hovering around the second salary tax apron, there’s a very real possibility they let Robinson walk in free agency.

That’s why they may consider trying to replace him with a more cost-effective option in June’s NBA Draft. Well, they could reportedly be one of those teams taking a close look at a player who could be a great replacement for Robinson next season.

Could the New York Knicks trade Mitchell Robinson for Zubie Ejiofor?

According to college basketball insider Adam Zagoria, more than 20 teams have “requested private workouts” with St. John’s star Jubie Ejiofor. It would make complete sense if the Knicks were one of the teams the senior won Big East Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Scholar Athlete of the Year honors last season for a Red Storm team that reached the Sweet 16.

Although Ejiofor is shorter than Robinson (7-feet compared to 6-foot-9), he weighs similar to the Knicks center. He is also a talented rim protector (2.1 blocks per night) and offensive rebounder (3.0 ORPG in 2025-26, 4.4 in 2024-25). However, he may be upgraded overall as he is a far more efficient scorer than Robinson.

Last season, Ejiofor posted 17.3 points per game and shot 72% from the line. Robinson is a liability at the line after averaging 51% from the stripe for his career. The St. John’s big man could be an option for New York, with a higher possibility at 24, or 31, to open Round 2 of the draft.

Mitchell Robinson continues his public disappointment with the NY Knicks’ recent game

Mitchell Robinson has always been known for cryptic, hard-to-decode social media posts that leave fans reading between the lines. But after the New York Knicks’ 114-103 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on March 27, it seemed like Robinson completely flipped the script, and gave an answer so honest and self-aware that the entire Knicks fanbase didn’t see it coming.

After the game, a disappointed fan wrote to Robinson on Snapchat: “Y’all played like crap today, man.” Robinson responded without hesitation: “We did, but basketball won’t be a great night every night.”

Michelle Robinson holds up a mirror for the ny knicks

Snapchat certainly wasn’t the only social media platform where Robinson openly expressed his feelings. Right after the Knicks fan TV clip of Robinson instructing teammate Ariel Huckporty on rebounding before the game. He left a comment on the same post after the game.

Robinson wrote: “Until we change our mentality, it doesn’t matter; we’re not doing anything remarkable – keep that nonsense up, including me.”

a defeat that affected the situation

It was certainly not a tiring game. In fact, a Knicks win over Charlotte would have moved New York into second place in the Eastern Conference, a seeding that offers a lot of playoff advantage.

However, they allowed a Hornets team to dominate the first half 65–55, before going on a meaningless run late in the third quarter to put them behind 94–76. The Knicks’ record is currently 48–26, which is third in the East, but their playoff position has not been decided.

A monster test awaits against the Thunder

There is no time to be disappointed. The Knicks head to Paycom Center to play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Thunder are on top of the Western Conference with a 58-16 record and are very formidable with a 30-6 home record this season.

However, if Robinson’s honest comments do indeed indicate a real change in attitude, then Knicks supporters should be prepared to see him deliver an extraordinary rebounding show, completely controlling the zone, consistently blocking every missed shot for the Thunder, and clearly demonstrating why a focused Mitchell Robinson is without a doubt one of the league’s most powerful big men.

Mitchell Robinson highlights Knicks after embarrassing loss to Hornets

The New York Knicks had a chance to make a real statement in their game against the Charlotte Hornets. Instead, they went home with a 114-103 loss, and Mitchell Robinson made sure no one forgot how bad it was.

Knicks Fan TV posted a video that caught everyone’s attention. The caption reads: “Coach Mitch giving Huckporty some pointers before the game.”

In the clip, Robinson can be heard rebounding for the young big man. He told Hookporty, “How to rebound… You know I had injuries back in the day… So I sat down and watched our team shoot… So like OG, prime example: OG shoots right above the front rim, so [misses] I’ll go back to that every time.”

After the game, Robinson did not mix anything. He commented on the same post and wrote: “It doesn’t matter unless we change our perspective, we’re not doing much, including me.”

The Knicks had no answers all night.

On the court, the Knicks couldn’t find any rhythm. The Hornets took a 38-36 lead early on after the first quarter and steadily increased it. The score was 65-55 at half time. Things got even worse in the third quarter, with Kon Knueppel and LaMelo Ball combining to significantly extend the lead, resulting in a 94–76 lead before the fourth.

The Knicks showed some fight late, with Josh Hart leading the way and Jalen Brunson finishing with 26 points and 13 assists. This was an important game. A win could have given New York the second seed in the East. Instead, they allowed a short-handed Hornets team to dominate them.

New York faces the Thunder on March 29 and it won’t be easy. OKC will come hungry after losing to the Celtics. Since Boston is still the second seed, the Knicks will have to find a way to get this win.

Furthermore, the Knicks will face even more difficult opponents going forward, and if Robinson’s statement is to be believed, they need to solve this immediately.

Duncan Robinson vows to handle Detroit controversies differently in future

The Detroit Pistons are trying to get back on track after going through a recent slump that saw them lose four straight games. They stopped the bleeding by beating the Brooklyn Nets 138-100 on Tuesday.

The Pistons are 7-5 since the showdown with the Charlotte Hornets in February, which some believe has sharpened the team’s focus. The incident could have been much worse and could have completely derailed Detroit’s campaign.

But lessons were learned and the Pistons are now trying to move on. Duncan Robinson admitted in “The Young Man and the Three” that he regretted not trying to stop Isaiah Stewart from entering the court.

“I couldn’t stop it, but I hate not seeing him on the court. So if I could have done something to stop him from getting to Miles (Bridges), but he had obviously made up his mind, there was nothing I was going to do in that moment,” Robinson said.

Fans mocked the 31-year-old shooter for running away and doing nothing during the brawl. To some, Robinson let down his teammates.

He said he understands the story being spread, but said his teammates always support him.

“I think Stu and my teammates know I ride for them. Obviously, it’ll be a little different than how Stu rides for his teammates. I’m also going to be authentically me, okay? In that moment, I got caught. It felt bad. Honestly, it did. It didn’t feel like I was down for that reason,” Robinson said.

“Next time, I’m going to catch someone. At least fake it, get in the way. But I thought it was like helping Bill Nye with a science project. Like he’s taken care of it, you know what I mean?”

The brawl led to heavy sanctions, with Stewart and Jalen Duren being suspended for seven games and two games, respectively. Meanwhile, Bridges and Moussa Diabate were both suspended for four games.

The Pistons won that game 110–104. Robinson had 18 points on 8-0f-10 shooting, three rebounds and four assists.

维克多·温班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 加入大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 和蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 专属俱乐部,帮助活塞队获胜

维克多·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 继续成为圣安东尼奥马刺队的超级巨星,在圣安东尼奥马刺队最近战胜底特律活塞队后,他再次与蒂姆·邓肯和大卫·罗宾逊等人并列。

邓肯和罗宾逊是马刺队唯一的前状元秀,他们显然是球队历史上最伟大的两名球员,但他们也是NBA历史上最伟大的大个子之一。当温比加入他们的独家名单时,这总是一项重大成就,而他周一晚上在底特律的统治地位又为这位年轻球星的一长串成就增添了色彩。

在马刺队以114-103战胜活塞队的比赛中,温巴尼亚马出战36分钟,得到21分、17个篮板(其中8个进攻板)和6个盖帽。结果,他与罗宾逊和邓肯一起成为马刺队历史上唯一一位在一场比赛中至少得到20分、15个篮板、5个盖帽和8个进攻篮板的球员。

两位马刺传奇人物在各自的职业生涯中三次实现了这一壮举。

自全明星周末以来的最后三场比赛中,温巴尼亚马连续三场两双,场均贡献 22.0 分、14.3 个篮板和 5.0 个盖帽。他在对阵活塞队的比赛中出色的表现帮助马刺队取得了九连胜,使球队仅落后俄克拉荷马城雷霆队 2.5 个胜场,成为 NBA 最佳战绩。

这场比赛结束后,温巴尼亚马反思自己16投仅6中,声称他在场上的个人表现并没有赢得这场对活塞的比赛,而是球队的集体努力。

“下半场的防守相当令人满意,”温班亚马赛后说道。 “艰难的投篮之夜。这就是他们(活塞队)所做的。如果他们不想让你得分,那么他们就不会让你得分。这就是为什么我也在谈论进步,因为今晚每个人都紧密相连。整场比赛,每个人都在进攻上紧密相连。

“今晚每个人都必须吃饭,因为我们联系紧密。”

马刺队自2018-19赛季以来首次取得九连胜,这也是该组织最后一次进入季后赛。

圣安东尼奥马刺似乎不再可能在未来十年被排除在西部季后赛之外,因为温班亚马已经在 22 岁时在 NBA 留下了自己的印记。他现在才刚刚触及名人堂潜力的表面,他将继续在球队历史上与邓肯和罗宾逊并肩。

老实说,不难想象温比未来会超越他的前辈。

維克多溫班亞馬 (Victor Wembanyama) 加入大衛羅賓遜 (David Robinson) 和鄧肯鄧肯 (Tim Duncan) 專屬俱樂部,幫助活塞隊獲勝

維克多·文班亞馬 (Victor Wembanyama) 繼續成為聖安東尼奧馬刺隊的超級巨星,在聖安東尼奧馬刺隊最近戰勝底特律活塞隊後,他再次與蒂姆·鄧肯和大衛·羅賓遜等人並列。

兩位馬刺傳奇人物在各自的職業生涯中三次實現了這一壯舉。

自全明星週末以來的最後三場比賽中,溫巴尼亞馬連續三場兩雙,場均貢獻 22.0 分、14.3 個籃板和 5.0 次蓋帽。他在對陣活塞隊的比賽中出色的表現幫助馬刺隊取得了九連勝,使球隊僅落後俄克拉荷馬城雷霆隊 2.5 場勝場,成為 NBA 最佳戰績。

這場比賽結束後,溫巴尼亞馬反思自己16投僅6中,聲稱他在場上的個人表現並沒有贏得這場對活塞的比賽,而是球隊的集體努力。

「下半場的防守相當令人滿意,」溫班亞馬賽後說道。 「艱難的投籃之夜。這就是他們(活塞)所做的。如果他們不想讓你得分,那麼他們就不會讓你得分。這就是為什麼我也在談論進步,因為今晚每個人都緊密相連。整場比賽,每個人都在進攻上緊密相連。

“今晚每個人都必須吃飯,因為我們聯繫緊密。”

馬刺隊自2018-19賽季以來首次取得九連勝,這也是該組織最後一次進入季後賽。

聖安東尼奧馬刺似乎不再可能在未來十年被排除在西部季後賽之外,因為溫班亞馬已經在 22 歲時在 NBA 留下了自己的印記。他現在才剛觸及名人堂潛力的表面,他將繼續在球隊歷史上與鄧肯和羅賓遜並肩。

老實說,不難想像溫比未來會超越他的前輩。

Robinson injured in Hurricanes practice Dons rare teal jersey, likely to play against Lightning

On Saturday morning, the Carolina Hurricanes were on the ice at Invisalign Arena. Since Tuesday – when the league allowed skating to resume after a twelve-day break – the Hurricanes have already held four practices.

Notably, Eric Robinson returned to the yellow non-contact sweater during those practices. However, on Saturday, the Hurricanes’ speedy fourth-line winger ditched the yellow jersey for a San Jose Sharks-esque teal sweater with a ‘Property of Carolina’ crest.

It’s unknown what the teal sweater represents – but it’s not yellow, which is a good sign. After practice, head coach Rod Brind’Amour discussed Robinson’s possible availability for Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

“I think he would be a good choice,” he told the media. “I mean, we’re not rushing it. …At this point, it looks like he’s trending toward being ready to go.”

Robinson suffered an upper-body injury on January 19 during a matinee game against the Buffalo Sabres. Early in the game, Rasmus Dahlin threw a high-speed hip-check at him while he was stationary near the Sabers net. As he came back from the ice, he was seen holding his left shoulder and immediately left the game.

His first day back on the ice was Tuesday and he has remained as an extra forward during practice since.

受傷的颶風捲土重來; Robinson 和 Gostisbehere 的最新動態

卡羅萊納颶風隊本賽季一直未能休息,因為自開幕之夜以來傷病一直困擾著球隊,聽起來颶風隊可能需要等待一段時間才能讓關鍵球員回歸。

颶風隊週五訓練結束後,兩名著名面孔再次缺席,因為埃里克·羅賓遜和謝恩·戈斯蒂斯貝赫爾缺席。在與媒體的簡短會面中,主教練羅德·布林德阿穆爾提供了他們的最新狀態。

羅賓遜在1月19日對陣布法羅軍刀隊的比賽中上半身受傷,預計將缺席米蘭科爾蒂納冬奧會之前颶風隊剩餘的全部六場比賽。

“他肯定會出局,”當被問及羅賓遜時,布林德阿穆爾說道。 “我至少預計到中場休息,然後希望在那之後回來。”

羅賓遜的缺席預期似乎很明確,但對於謝恩·戈斯蒂斯貝赫爾來說,他重返陣容的時間表仍然模糊。這位32歲的後衛自本賽季第五場比賽以來就因腹股溝傷勢不斷進出陣容,自1月13日對陣聖路易斯藍調隊以來就沒有參加過比賽。

“我們希望他能早點出現在陣容中,”布林德阿穆爾告訴媒體。 “但顯然,對於這樣的問題,你必須讓它完全、百分百地痊癒。因為它似乎會再次發生。所以,希望我們能找到一種方法來將它拋在腦後。”

在更好的消息中

雖然週五的訓練揭示了關鍵球員所面臨的傷病情況,但也有積極的消息。

查爾斯-亞歷克西斯·萊戈特和諾亞·菲爾普分別在手部受傷和腦震盪後參加了第一次訓練。

Legault 在 11 月初接受了修復右手多處伸肌腱的手術後,得到了三到四個月的時間表,他已經滑冰了幾個月。然而,週五是他第一次與球隊正式訓練,儘管他穿著黃色非接觸式毛衣。

自從獲得豁免後,菲爾普只參加了颶風隊的兩場比賽,他於 1 月 16 日進入腦震盪治療方案。他也穿著一件黃色的非接觸式毛衣。
