On the eve of their first NBA Finals appearance in 27 years, the New York Knicks find themselves navigating an unwelcome uncertainty: center Mitchell Robinson has broken his right pinky, leaving his availability for Game 1 on June 3 unresolved. His role — modest in minutes but meaningful in the paint — carries outsized weight against opponents built around elite interior presences. In the long human story of teams and their moments, it is often the smallest fractures, literal and otherwise, that test whether a group is truly ready for its largest stage.
