New York has two players on the injury list – Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Robinson is out for eight to 10 weeks after undergoing left ankle surgery, while Sims is recovering from a sprained right ankle.
The good news for the Knicks is they will have Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle suiting up against the Bucks. Brunson and Randle have been the Iron Men for the Knicks this season, as they have not missed a game.

The New York Knicks' problem is the absence of Mitchell Robinson, though. He was having the best season of his career when he got injured against the Boston Celtics on Dec. 8.
Robinson underwent surgery on his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in eight to 10 weeks. The Knicks also applied for a disabled player exception, which suggests that Robinson could miss the rest of the season.
New York has been using Isaiah Hartenstein and Jericho Sims since Robinson was ruled out. Hartenstein is doing a great job, while Sims injured his ankle against the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 20. He's expected to miss at least one to two weeks.
