New York Knicks<\/a> center Mitchell Robinson<\/a> is expected to be available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals at the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> after fully participating in practice Tuesday following right hand surgery, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Robinson, who fractured the fifth metacarpal bone in his right hand, is listed as questionable<\/a> for the game Wednesday night, New York’s first Finals appearance since 1999. He participated in light shooting and dribbling drills during an open practice Tuesday and wore a black wrap over his shooting hand and right wrist.<\/p>\n

Robinson, 28, has appeared in 13 of the Knicks’ 14 playoff games this season, averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes off the bench. He missed Game 2 of New York’s Eastern Conference semifinal sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> due to illness.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are seeking their first NBA championship since 1973.br\/]<\/p>\n
