Mitchell Robinson began his NBA journey with the New York Knicks after they selected him as the 36th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Since then, he has remained a key player for the team. However, recent trade speculation has caused many to wonder about his future with the Knicks.
Amid the buzz, the Knicks made a significant move, trading their star players, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This trade brought Karl-Anthony Towns to New York, leaving Robinson as the only player remaining from the 2020-21 team roster.
Robinson is entering his seventh season in the NBA with the Knicks. The Knicks star took to his Instagram story to express his gratitude for the Knicks organization in light of the recent changes.
“I’m really a great vibe, Longest Knick 🤷♂️, Risking my body to get the job done really paid off, ClampA mitch is full effect, Yall finna hate me, Risking it all,” he wrote in his Instagram story, posting a photo of the Knicks 2020-21 team.
