Nate Robinson: Diagnosed with Sprained ACL

Robinson was revealed to have sustained a sprained ACL in his left knee following an MRI on Thursday, and consequently, he's scheduled for an examination Friday in order to determine a plan for recovery.

Analysis:

Robinson got the nod at point guard Wednesday for the injured Ty Lawson (shoulder), but just six minutes into the game, the guard injured the knee and didn't return to the court. If Robinson's course of action requires missing time, the starter at the point Friday against the Raptors will depend upon Lawson's questionable status. After logging 38 minutes Wednesday, second-year guard Evan Fournier showed himself capable of taking on primary ball handling duties, recording 19 points (8-21 FG), six assists, five rebounds, three steals and three treys.
