ESPN's Shams Charania said Robinson is determined to play Wednesday's Game 1 despite a broken right pinky and damage to his fifth metacarpal.
The Knicks still had not cleared him Tuesday, and coach Mike Brown said he was unsure how Robinson would appear on the final injury report.
Video from practice showed Robinson dribbling and shaking hands with light tape, though Charania reported he would need a sizable brace to play.
The injury's details remain murky: Charania said Robinson hurt the hand at home during the week off, leaving questions about his workload and effectiveness if active.
