Let's start with how your Thursday night went, because early Thursday night at about 7 o'clock, the news broke on social media and probably got spread to you via text messages.

It's the way we all talk to each other these days, that Mitchell Robinson has suffered a broken right pinky finger, and there is no taintable on his return.

That's the news we get.

Yes.

So my brain is like going 15 different things at the same time.

And I have to be honest with you, you know what the first thing I did was when I saw this injury?

Turned on Tommy Lugauer.

I'm sorry.

And what did Tommy have to say?

Well, I was curious what Tommy would say.

Like, does Tommy go out and say, oh my God, we can't have nice things?

But Tommy did what I expected Tommy to do.

No, biggie.

No, Tommy made the same assumption we all made last night, which is that it's just a

pinky.

He's Mitchell Robinson. He's very tough, and he's going to play. Suck it up and play. Yeah, and look, I want to

be perfectly honest with you about the Mitchell Robinson discourse. Mitchell Robinson is a guy

who came out a few weeks ago and talked about kind of the things he's dealing with off the court.

He had a quote, very upsetting experience.

He's dealing with his mental health.

And he's doing it in the midst of an Eastern Conference finals.

We all respect Mitchell Robinson.
