Fantasy Impact
It’s a big blow to the Knicks and to eager fantasy owners who waited all offseason to see what “Blockinson” could do given a starting role for a full year. An early-round fantasy selection and one of the most promising two-way rookies of 2018-19 will unfortunately not make his season debut Wednesday. The injury doesn’t appear serious, so there’s a chance he doesn’t miss much time. Bobby Portis should draw the start in Robinson’s absence, while Julius Randle could handle a bigger workload in the frontcourt.
