Robbins's Knicks Future Fades in Summer League
13 Jul
Summary
- Liam Robbins faces diminishing Knicks prospects after a poor Summer League showing.
- Robbins struggled with shooting, turnovers, and fouls in recent games.
- His Summer League performance impacts his chances for a roster spot.
The New York Knicks' 2026 NBA Summer League campaign has begun with two losses, including a recent 70-49 defeat against the Spurs. Among the players struggling is Liam Robbins, a seven-footer who previously played for the Rip City Remix in the NBA G League.
Robbins had a particularly rough outing against the Spurs, missing all his field goal attempts and committing a team-high five turnovers in 13 minutes. His performance also included six personal fouls and a minus-14 rating. This showing raises concerns about his potential to become the team's third center for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
With upcoming games against the Pistons and two other opponents, Monday's matchup is critical for Robbins. A continued poor performance could lead the Knicks to abandon this experimental roster decision. Robbins's past G League statistics show promise, but he needs to translate that success to the NBA Summer League to keep his Knicks aspirations alive.
