The New York Knicks, fresh off an NBA championship, face potential roster changes as several rotation players are set to become free agents. Among them is backup center Mitchell Robinson.

Robinson, a seven-foot-tall player weighing 240 pounds, recorded averages of 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game in 19.6 minutes during the regular season. Despite a history of injuries, he played in 60 regular-season games and 18 of the Knicks' 19 playoff games.
