Mitchell Robinson says a hand injury that left his availability uncertain for the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals opener occurred after he punched a truck. According to Robinson, the incident was linked to distress about his younger brother’s health, which he said prompted his reaction. Robinson shared details in a Facebook post published on Sunday, in which he also addressed broader mental health concerns he experienced during the season.
The account is consistent across reports. All describe the injury explanation as stemming from the truck-punching incident rather than another on-court event. Separately, one outlet notes that Robinson has agreed to leave the Knicks and sign with the Boston Celtics, placing the comments in the context of his impending move while he discusses the circumstances surrounding his injury.
The reports focus on Robinson’s statement about the cause of the hand injury and his use of the post to discuss both the physical setback and mental health challenges during the season. They do not add independent verification from team medical staff or other sources.
