Knicks may part ways with Mitchell Robinson after NBA championship
Summary

The New York Knicks are reportedly unlikely to re-sign center Mitchell Robinson after winning the NBA title. Robinson, an unrestricted free agent, served as a key backup in the Knicks' championship run but may become a target for other teams due to salary cap concerns. Knicks owner James Dolan has stated a reluctance to exceed the second apron of the salary cap, complicating Robinson's return. The team's evaluation of Robinson's fit within their future plans could lead them to pursue alternative options at center.
