Details of Mitchell Robinson's right hand fracture have been revealed! He responds to fans and haters, expected to play through injury in Game 1 of the Finals.

On May 31 Beijing time, New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy provided further details on Mitchell Robinson's right hand fracture. The injury involves the fifth metacarpal, which links the wrist to the little finger. Sources indicate that Robinson has recently had surgery, and there is optimism he will play in the opening game of the Finals. The Finals start next Thursday, facing either San Antonio or Oklahoma City. Robinson was absent from today's practice session.

After breaking his right hand, Robinson received an outpouring of care and support, for which he is grateful. However, he also directed some sharp words toward those who were hoping to see him struggle.

Several days have passed since it was reported that he fractured his little finger during Finals preparations. The Knicks' big man took to Instagram today to share his thoughts.

Without specifically mentioning the finger injury, he wrote: "I'm incredibly grateful for the love and support from the vast majority of fans, especially during this tough period of my life. This kindness makes everything I'm fighting for now so much easier."

His tone shifted when addressing haters: "As for those who wished for my injury and wanted to see me down, I've got some harsh words for you. And then there are those who claim to care about me but are nowhere to be found when I need them, yet I always show up when they're in trouble. What goes around comes around."

The cause of this injury remains a mystery. Head coach Mike Brown said yesterday that the fracture did not occur during a game or practice, but he did not disclose the exact timing of the injury.

"My principle has always been to play whoever is in good shape and available," Brown said yesterday. "He didn't practice today, so we're preparing other players to step up. I don't want to dwell on the details; I just need to know if he can play and when he'll be back. We're preparing as usual, with everyone ready to go."

In this postseason, Robinson has averaged 14.2 minutes per game, contributing 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks.
