He will be re-evaluated in three weeks following the procedure at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery.

He is averaging 7.2 points and 8.9 rebounds in 38 games (37 starts) this season, his fifth with the Knicks.

Robinson, 24, owns career averages of 8.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 268 games (154 starts).
