yahoo -

Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is officially available to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. 

Robinson fractured his fifth metacarpal (the bone located just below the pinky finger) in his right hand at some point following the sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals and had surgery shortly thereafter. 

SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley reported on Tuesday that Robinson, who was listed as questionable, was pushing to play and the team was hopeful he would be able to go. 

Robinson did more on-court work on Tuesday in San Antonio, as he was seen wearing a brace/wrap on his right hand.

The big man has averaged 5.3 points,5.5 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in about 14 minutes off the bench in 13 games during the playoffs.
