Mitchell Robinson’s long-term Knicks future is uncertain
NY Post
The Knicks withstood the loss of Mitchell Robinson in the second half of the regular season, but they certainly could have used the high-flying rim protector during their five-game loss to the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.
The 7-foot-1 center underwent surgery in late March to repair a broken bone in his right foot, suffered in his fourth game back in the lineup after also having a procedure done on a broken bone in his right hand in mid-February. Robinson’s long-term future with the Knicks remains in flux, although picking up his reasonable $1.8 million team option appears to be an easy decision, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent in 2022 if an extension cannot be reached in the interim with new agent Thad Foucher.
