Mitchell Robinson thought the pain in his right hand was something he could easily shake off.

It turned out it wasn’t. Robinson suffered a fracture of the fourth metacarpal when he hit Julius Randle’s elbow while attempting to block a shot in the second quarter of the Knicks-Wizards game on Feb. 12.

"It was crazy," the third-year center said on Saturday after watching his teammates practice.
