Mitchell Robinson Departs Champion Knicks for $47.4M Deal with Celtics: Report
Mitchell Robinson gives Boston a veteran rebounder after averaging 8.0 rebounds and 7.5 points over eight seasons with New York.
- On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, free agent center Mitchell Robinson agreed to a three-year, $47.4 million contract with the Boston Celtics, ending his eight-year tenure with the New York Knicks.
- Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan refused to exceed the second apron to keep the roster intact, leaving the Knicks with just $8.6 million available after signing Landry Shamet.
- Robinson, a 28-year-old rim protector, averaged 5.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game during the 2025-26 season, though durability concerns persist as he has played over 70 games just once.
- New York is considering options like Kevon Looney, Nick Richards, or Andre Drummond to fill the roster gap left by the championship rotation player.
- Robinson will transition to a starting role in Boston, a position unavailable behind Karl-Anthony Towns, as the Celtics look to dethrone the Knicks as Eastern Conference champions.
