Mitchell Robinson has long been one of the most beloved players in the New York Knicks’ locker room, but the writing is starting to appear on the wall. With the team gearing up to extend Mikal Bridges and other core contributors, Robinson may very well be entering his final season in a Knicks jersey. The organization simply may not be able to afford to keep him without pushing into dangerous territory financially, and all signs point toward a likely parting next summer.
The veteran big man is set to hit unrestricted free agency in 2026, and this timing could not be more complicated for the Knicks.
