Mitchell Robinson Reflects on First Game Against Former Team

Mitchell Robinson, a former player for the New York Knicks, took to Instagram after his first game against his old team, which took place on Friday. The game ended with the Boston Celtics defeating the Knicks 107-103, marking Robinson's debut with the Celtics after leaving the Knicks in free agency.

In his Instagram Story, Robinson recounted a peculiar interaction with a fan who mistakenly believed he still played for the Knicks. He expressed amusement at the comment, emphasizing his enjoyment of playing in Boston. During the game, Robinson contributed four points, four rebounds, and two assists in 22 minutes of play, helping the Celtics improve their record to 1-1.

This season is significant for Robinson as it is his first with a team other than the Knicks, where he had been the longest-tenured player. He signed a three-year contract worth $47.4 million with the Celtics. Despite his departure, Robinson noted that he holds no resentment towards the Knicks, stating that he was ready for a fresh start. He received a warm welcome from Celtics fans, including a standing ovation after a notable block and an alley-oop score during the game.
