The New York Knicks have already made the largest splash of the NBA offseason thus far with their commerce for Mikal Bridges, and followers are fascinated with what’s subsequent for the workforce because it will get set to make a run for a championship subsequent season.
One veteran goes to be closely relied upon to anchor this roster and lately clapped again at critics about his harm considerations.
Knicks middle Mitchell Robinson posted on X saying “Idk why I looked this up but…for people to say I’m always ‘injured’ only had 2 years of my career where I didn’t play more than half the season, the other 4 seasons I played more than half the year” earlier than including that he’s “got something cooking up.”

This isn’t tremendous encouraging in case you’re a Knicks fan, because the workforce is probably going to lose Isaiah Hartenstein to free company as a result of cap constraints and Robinson will likely be wanted to be this workforce’s main middle.
Enjoying greater than half the season in 4 out of six years isn’t probably the most encouraging endorsement, however it’s some inventive goal-post-moving by Robinson.
In a Tom Thibodeau system, gamers are sometimes requested to play a ton of minutes, particularly within the playoffs the place we noticed Knicks similar to Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart usually play the complete recreation.
Robinson has by no means performed greater than 28 minutes per recreation and has by no means performed greater than 72 video games in a season.
He has missed 124 video games over the past 4 seasons, so taking a combative method right here is an odd transfer.
The critics have a purpose to be pissed off.
