What’s next for Mitchell Robinson’s Knicks minutes limit
NY Post
MIAMI — Mitchell Robinson said his minutes limit was “supposed to be about 18” after his encouraging season debut Friday night.
The center instead logged 12 in Memphis, including half in the first quarter because Karl-Anthony Towns picked up two quick fouls.
“[The limit] goes up,” Robinson said. “[Friday] was just 12. I think it was supposed to be about 18. But 12 is fine.”
Robinson’s limited minutes were certainly enough to alter the rotation.
