Mitchell Robinson entered the night listed as questionable but tested out his ankle during warmups and was ruled healthy enough to play

When the Philadelphia 76ers pay a visit to the New York Knicks for Game 5 of this Round 1 series on Tuesday, they will be facing elimination. The Sixers have had their issues in this series when it comes to rebounding as the Knicks have been the tougher team in key moments.

The Knicks ruled rim-protecting big man and rebounding machine Mitchell Robinson out for Game 4 of their first-round playoff matchup against the 76ers due to a sprained left ankle.

Tom Thibodeau tightened the Knicks' rotation to seven players and it caught up to New York in overtime of a Game 5 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Knicks blew leads in regulation and overtime and fell to the 76ers, 112-106 in overtime, in Game 5 before a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd. With the Sixers trailing 0-2 in the series, Embiid had guaranteed his team would come back to prevail.
