Mitchell Robinson has put out his cries on social media before about his belief in his ability to expand his offensive arsenal, displaying videos of him on a practice court handling the ball and most often, tossing in three-point field goals.
But when he tweeted what seemed like a similar call right after Tuesday’s loss in Utah, "One day they’ll let me play, 100," he almost immediately deleted it. And when he finally addressed the tweet Friday morning he offered up an odd explanation, denying he was asking for a bigger role in the Knicks’ offense.
