NEW YORK — Knicks center Mitchell Robinson did individual work at practice again on Monday, two days before Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Robinson underwent surgery last week for a broken pinkie finger on his right hand.

“I’m waiting on the medical staff to let me know what the next step is,” coach Mike Brown said Monday after practice in Tarrytown, saying Robinson worked with assistant coach Mark Bryant.

It’s unclear how Robinson, 28, hurt his shooting hand, but Brown said previously that the injury did not occur in a game or at practice.

Robinson also did individual work at Sunday’s practice, with Brown confirming the backup big man is wearing some sort of apparatus on his hand.

The 7-foot Robinson’s status for Wednesday night’s game in San Antonio remains uncertain, though he is reportedly hopeful to play.

“I can’t thank you guys enough for the love and support most of you bring especially at a time like this in my life,” Robinson wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “It makes everything I’m fighting for 100x easier to deal with.”

Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game this postseason, but his game-wrecking impact as a rebounder and shot-blocker regularly transcends the box score.

His presence is particularly important against a Spurs team headlined by 7-5 center Victor Wembanyama, the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year who finished third in MVP voting.

Robinson is behind Karl-Anthony Towns on the depth chart, while 24-year-old Ariel Hukporti is the Knicks’ third-string center.

Wemby watch

Brown knows defending Wembanyama won’t be easy.

As if his towering frame and elite two-way skill set wasn’t enough, the 22-year-old Wembanyama trained last offseason with monks at the Shaolin Temple in China in an effort to enhance his body and mind.

“You just hope [with] a guy like that, you can find ways to make him work,” Brown said. “You pray. I had some buddies that are monks — I can’t go to them because he’s got that part of the religion all wrapped up.”

Wembanyama averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game in the regular season and has been similarly potent in the playoffs — including a 41-point, 24-rebound eruption in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

“At his size and his talent and his ability, you’ve got to hope he misses some, but you’ve got to keep mixing things up so you can keep him trying to guess,” Brown said. “He’s got a great feel, so it’s going to be hard, but you keep him trying to guess and try to make him work.”
