Mitchell Robinson is leaving the New York Knicks to sign with the Boston Celtics, according to multiple reports. The Athletic reports that Robinson agrees to a three-year deal with the Celtics, with the Knicks unable to keep him because doing so would put them over the NBA’s second apron. Other coverage similarly says Robinson signs a multi-year contract with Boston, with figures cited as a three-year agreement worth $47.4 million. Yahoo Sports also reports Robinson’s move as the end of his time with the Knicks and frames it as a free-agent shift to a rival. Separate reporting adds that Robinson has hinted at his decision publicly, saying he “didn’t want this to happen,” and remarks that have led to questions about the circumstances of his departure. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both emphasize that the move has generated league-wide speculation about why the teams’ negotiations did not result in Robinson remaining in New York. Overall, the reports converge on the key points: Robinson departs the Knicks for Boston, the Celtics secure his services on a multi-year contract, and constraints tied to the Knicks’ salary-cap/apron situation are cited as a major factor.
