Mitchell Robinson problem the Knicks can’t seem to escape

Sometimes, the best ability in the sport of basketball is availability. For New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson, this has been an attribute seen few and far between throughout his tenure.

Sadly, in 2025-26, this remains his biggest flaw.

Since entering the league back in 2018, the big man has consistently wowed fans and pundits alike with his eye-popping athleticism and naturally elite rim-protecting and board-gobbling skills.

For his career, per 100 possessions, he averages a whopping 16.1 rebounds (7.6 coming on the offensive end), 3.8 blocks, and a defensive rating of 107.

Unfortunately, Robinson has only been able to flash these top-notch talents in 342 of a potential total of 565 regular season games, equatting to roughly 40 percent of games that he's missed.
