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.
Precious Achiuwa, who had averaged 31.1 minutes in the previous 12 games, only played four in the Knicks’ win over the Grizzlies.
Robinson also played two defensive possessions in the final 24 seconds after subbing out Towns — a glimpse at how coach Tom Thibodeau will handle the end-of-game rotation in close contests.

The Knicks won’t be raising a banner to the rafters at Madison Square Garden to commemorate their victory in the 2025 NBA Cup, and you can count your humble narrator among the faction that wishes they’d chosen differently. I’m not quite sure when it became mandatory to rinse as much fun out of sports as possible, but we’re sure trying.
