The New York Knicks are expected to have Mitchell Robinson at their disposal for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

Robinson participated in practise on Tuesday, and will be available for the Finals opener in San Antonio, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

Robinson was officially listed as questionable after undergoing surgery last week to repair a broken pinkie finger on his right hand.

It is uncertain how Robinson sustained the injury, though Knicks coach Mike Brown said he was not hurt in a game or during practice.

Robinson has appeared in all but one of New York's first 14 games through the first three rounds of the play-offs, playing more than 17 minutes off the bench in the Eastern Conference finals-clinching victory at Cleveland on May 25.

One of the biggest players on the Knicks roster, the 7-footer is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in the play-offs.
