This is why we keep writing about the availability of Mitchell Robinson, why we dedicate so many questions and articles to his tenuous health.

Nights like Wednesday’s 137-114 victory over the Timberwolves are the reminder. In just 16 minutes on the court, Robinson completely altered the game’s course with his size, his rebounding, his defense, his rim protection.

Collecting nine offensive rebounds in that limited time should be impossible, unfathomable. But Robinson did it against Julius Randle, against Rudy Gobert, against a two-time Western Conference finalist.
