New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will be active and available to play Wednesday night for the first time since early December, ESPN reported.

Robinson sustained an ankle injury on Dec. 8 that required surgery. The defensive-minded big man has missed the last 50 games.

The surging Knicks (43-28) have won two straight and six of seven entering Wednesday's road date with the Toronto Raptors (23-49).

Robinson, who turns 26 on Monday, averaged 6.2 points on 59.2 percent shooting with a team-high 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21 games (all starts) before the injury.

The 7-footer has career averages of 8.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in 310 games (196 starts) since New York drafted him in the second round in 2018.
