MIAMI — Mitchell Robinson said his minutes limit “should be about 18 years old” after his encouraging season debut on Friday night.
Instead, the center scored 12 in Memphis. This included half of the first quarter as the town of Karl Anthony picked up two quick fouls.
“[The limit] Robinson said. “[Friday] It was only 12. I think it should have been about 18 years old. But 12 is fine. ”
Robinson's limited time was certainly enough to change the rotation.
A valuable Acuwa, who averaged 31.1 minutes in his previous 12 games, only played four in the Knicks' Grizzlies victory.
Robinson also played two defensive possessions in the final 24 seconds after selling the town. This is a glimpse into how coach Tom Thibodeau handles game-ending rotations in a close contest.
“[It shows Thibodeau] Robinson said. “I've been out for 10 months and I owned me a big way to stop. It shows that he trusts me. He's still shaking with me.”
One thing Thibodeau didn't try on Friday night was playing town with Robinson.
The Knicks still have an open roster, staying under the second apron and can sign free agents on standard contracts.
However, picking is a powerful slimmer, with free agents in the top buyout market already being scooped up by other franchises.
If a player is exempt from March 1st and hits free agency, he is no longer eligible for the playoffs. Therefore, there are no new players available to other teams. The market is set.
And in the case of the Knicks, there is less need for reinforcements on Robinson's return.
However, Westchester's G-League affiliate picked up a recognizable name and announced on Saturday that it had signed 2022 No. 10.
Davis, a 23-year-old Wisconsin security guard, was abandoned by the Grizzlies after becoming a draft bust for the Wizard.
The Knicks are unlikely to face Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. In Sunday's match, both were listed as suspicious in the injury report with ankle spras.
Miami (28-30) defeated Pacer on Friday night.
