Knicks mum on status of Mitchell Robinson (finger) for Game 1

SAN ANTONIO -- The New York Knicks declined to reveal Tuesday whether center Mitchell Robinson will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs after undergoing surgery last week to address a broken finger.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday that Robinson remains "resolute" in his desire to play in Game 1 but that the 7-footer still must be officially cleared by the Knicks' training staff. Robinson, who broke the pinkie on his right hand, participated in light shooting and dribbling drills during an open practice at NBA Finals media day Tuesday.
