A broken pinkie finger wasn’t going to keep Mitchell Robinson out of the biggest game of his career. 
The Knicks’ backup center was made active for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, despite him undergoing surgery last week for a fracture to the fifth metacarpal on his right hand. 
Robinson, 28, was listed as questionable before being cleared to play shortly before tip-off at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center. 
The 7-footer practiced Tuesday, then went through a pregame warm-up Wednesday with a brace on his hand. 
It is unclear how Robinson broke the bone — located near the knuckle — on his shooting hand, but Knicks head coach Mike Brown has said that the injury did not occur in a game or at practice. 
Robinson, the longest-tenured Knick, averaged 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game through the first three rounds of the playoffs, but his impact as a rim-protector and on the offensive glass regularly transcends the box score. 
He figures to be part of the Knicks’ defensive game plan against all-world Spurs center Victor Wembanyama.
