Mitchell Robinson leaves Knicks for Celtics after eight seasons

Mitchell Robinson has signed a three-year, $47.4 million contract with the Boston Celtics following an eight-year tenure with the New York Knicks. His departure came shortly after contributing to the Knicks' championship run, making him the longest-tenured player on the roster until he left. Robinson expressed mixed feelings about the move, particularly in an online exchange with former teammate OG Anunoby, implying that he did not want to leave.
