Mitchell Robinson is reported to have agreed to a three-year, $47.4 million contract with the Boston Celtics, according to an Associated Press source cited by Yahoo Sports. The deal is described as having a player option in the third season. Robinson is a 7-foot center who has spent his entire eight-year NBA career with the New York Knicks after being selected in the second round of the 2018 draft. He has recently won an NBA title with the Knicks and is entering an offseason in which Boston seeks additional help with rim protection following its first-round playoff elimination.
The reports place the Celtics’ agreement as part of their broader free-agency efforts to strengthen the frontcourt. One outlet also notes Robinson’s career production across eight seasons, including averages of 7.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. Boston finished the regular season with 56 wins, earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
