New York has listed Robinson as questionable due to a fractured right pinky finger that he underwent surgery for last Thursday, though it has been reported that he is pushing to play in Game 1.
If Robinson is sidelined Wednesday, Ariel Hukporti and Mohamed Diawara could be in line for increased roles off the bench behind Towns.
Spurs Injury Report: Will De’Aaron Fox Play?
The Spurs enter Wednesday’s game with a clean injury report as they have nobody listed on it, including guard De’Aaron Fox.

Of course, Fox suffered a right ankle sprain in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves but he has been able to play through the injury and he is off the injury report completely for Wednesday’s matchup.
Fans can catch Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs from San Antonio Wednesday night at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
