The New York Knicks are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference and are on a three-game win streak. However, Saturday night's win over the shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks came at a cost.
Midway through the first quarter of the game, Mitchell Robinson went up to defend a pass but landed awkwardly on his foot. He didn't return for the rest of the game and was diagnosed with a broken foot.
However, it seems as though Robinson has his own opinion on what happened during Saturday night's game. He's clearly frustrated with the accident that happened and might think the incident wasn't an accident at all:
Soon as I start to get back to myself this happens I watched the video a few times that was some bs

Robinson doesn't clarify exactly what he's upset about other than receiving another setback in his career. The play didn't look dirty and seemed to be a freak accident, as most injuries in sports are. The Knicks center tweeted about 12 minutes later, voicing his frustrations again:
Been taking a beating all year long smfh

A timeline on the injury hasn't been released as of yet. However, with just a couple of months left in the regular season, a broken foot likely sidelines Robinson for the rest of the season. To lose Robinson at this time doesn't bode well for the Knicks, as they'll have to continue without one of their best players.
While this is certainly frustrating for the Knicks, they have been playing well and will try to continue to soldier on without Robinson. We'll see how this Knicks team bounces back, though, as they'll have to step up if they want to make a run in the postseason.
