Willis Reed returned after a torn thigh muscle to help the Knicks win Game 7, while Walt “Clyde” Frazier’s season record included the line “If nobody gets injured, I think we will win it all.” The current run features 11 straight wins and hopes for the first championship in 53 years. This week, Mitchell Robinson suffered a broken right pinkie and underwent surgery, with a goal of returning for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night in San Antonio or Oklahoma City. The Spurs and Thunder determine the opponent in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, while the Knicks previously avoided injuries through the Eastern Conference Finals with no one on the injury report.
"It came this week in the form of a broken right pinkie for Mitchell Robinson and a surgical procedure that the Knicks hope will get him back on the floor in time for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night in San Antonio or Oklahoma City (the Spurs and Thunder will decide that on Saturday night in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals)."
