The operation will take place at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery and he will be re-evaluated in 8-10 weeks. He was hurt in Friday’s 133-123 loss at Boston and already had been ruled out for Monday’s game against Toronto.

Robinson, 25, is averaging 6.2 points on 59.2 percent shooting with a team-high 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21 games (all starts) this season. The 7-footer holds career averages of 8.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in 310 games (196 starts) since New York drafted him in the second round in 2018.
