Is Mitchell Robinson playing today? Latest injury update for the Knicks-Sixers as of April 28th

Julius Randle may not be the only key player the New York Knicks will be without in Game 4 on Sunday in Philadelphia. Mitchell Robinson missed the second half of Game 3, leaving the Wells Fargo Center in a walking boot.

The Knicks center was involved in several controversial plays by Joel Embiid, including the one in which the Sixers center pulled Robinson's legs away. It is unclear in which game Robinson re-injured the same ankle on which he had surgery in December.

Precious Achiuwa played in the second half of Game 3 after Robinson left the game. If Robinson doesn't play in Game 4, Jericho Sims will likely play some minutes, especially if Isaiah Hartenstein and Achiuwa get into foul trouble guarding Embiid.

As Deuce McBride said, expect New York to be the team to throw the first punch on Sunday. Embiid defended his actions in Game 3 by saying the Knicks weren't the only ones who could play physical. It's not like New York needed extra playoff fuel, but the reigning MVP gave them some anyway.

Mitchell Robinson (sprained left ankle) is listed as questionable. Tom Thibodeau said Robinson did not practice Saturday.

Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable. He was questionable in the last three games but played in all of them.

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable. Julius Randle (shoulder) is out.

Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable. Robert Covington (knee) is out.

New York: Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Isaiah Hartenstein

Philadelphia: Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid

The Knicks host the Sixers at MSG for Game 5 on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. ET. Depending on what happens this afternoon, New York could end the series on Tuesday.
