This was very unexpected and I am truly thankful for this 🤍”

Looking At Robinson
GettyMitchell Robinson rides in a hometown community parade as a member of the NBA champion New York Knicks on June 25, 2026 in St Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
Robinson was the 36th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
He has spent all eight years of his career in New York.
This summer, Robinson will be among the most intriguing free agents on the market.
Stefan Bondy of The New York Post wrote (on June 25): “Heard it’s unlikely Mitchell Robinson will be back with Knicks next season. He’s longest tenured Knick but also an unrestricted free agent. Owner James Dolan said he’s unwilling to pay into second apron so running it back with bench is not feasible.”
