Mitchell Robinson is the Knicks' longest-tenured player, and arguably their best pound-for-pound defender. He has been the subject of trade rumors for years now, but proved just how valuable he can be during the Knicks' playoff run. The biggest issue for Robinson, and one that should keep fans up at night, is his long injury history.
Robinson's career has been far from a walk in the park. He has played over 70 games only once in his seven years with the Knicks. He hasn't eclipsed the 60 games played mark since 2021-22 and only appeared in 17 regular-season games last season.
