The New York Knicks could be without key reserve Mitchell Robinson after the center was diagnosed with a broken right pinkie finger on Thursday, according to ESPN.

There is no timetable for Robinson’s return.

The Knicks are set to play Game 1 of the NBA Finals next Wednesday on the road against either Oklahoma City or San Antonio.

Robinson appeared in 13 of New York’s first 16 games through the first three rounds of the playoffs, including more than 17 minutes off the bench in the Eastern Conference finals-clinching victory at Cleveland. The team returned to practice at home on Thursday.

It was not clear exactly when Robinson was injured, though video shows him grabbing at his right hand and shaking it going back down the court with 5:35 left in the third quarter Monday night after coming down from attempting to rebound a missed shot by teammate Mikal Bridges. He played off and on until 7:47 left in the fourth.

The Knicks are 12-2 in the postseason, with a victory margin of 19.4 points a game, and have won 11 in a row. That’s tied for the third-longest winning streak within one postseason.

The 28-year-old Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in the playoffs as a big man whose minutes come in a reserve role and who can fill time on the court when Karl-Anthony Towns gets into foul trouble. On the offensive end, Robinson has been the subject of fouling from opponents because of his issues at the free throw line, where he's 13 of 43 (30.2%).
