The New York Knicks will enter Game 3 of the NBA Finals with Mitchell Robinson listed as available, while the San Antonio Spurs report no injuries ahead of Monday night’s matchup at Madison Square Garden.
Robinson is managing a right hand issue tied to a fractured fifth metacarpal, but he has remained part of the Knicks’ rotation throughout the playoffs. He has appeared in 15 postseason games, averaging 5.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in limited minutes while anchoring the second unit defensively.
New York leads the series 2-0 after back-to-back road wins in San Antonio, including a 105-104 victory in Game 2 decided in the final seconds. The center’s availability adds interior depth against a Spurs front line led by Victor Wembanyama.
San Antonio, meanwhile, enters Game 3 with a clean injury report. De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Wembanyama are all fully available, giving the Spurs a stable rotation as they attempt to respond after dropping both opening games.
Wembanyama has been the focal point of the matchup, averaging 23.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks in the postseason. He posted 29 points in Game 2 but also committed a late turnover that contributed to New York’s closing run.
The Knicks continue to rely heavily on Jalen Brunson, who is averaging 26.6 points and 6.3 assists in the playoffs while controlling late-game possessions. Karl-Anthony Towns has also provided consistent production at 17.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, giving New York a stable interior presence alongside Robinson’s bench impact.
San Antonio’s perimeter structure remains centered on Stephon Castle’s playmaking, averaging 6.4 assists, and Devin Vassell’s spacing role at 12.9 points per game.
Madison Square Garden is expected to deliver a high-pressure environment, with Game 3 set for 8:30 PM ET. The Knicks have not lost since early in the postseason, carrying a 13-game playoff winning streak into the Finals.
