Tom Thibodeau would not confirm the decision Tuesday morning after the Knicks completed their shootaround to get ready for that night’s game against the Spurs at the AT&T Center. But there were plenty of clues that what the coach said was a choice he was "Still mulling," was actually done and Mitchell Robinson would be the next domino to be removed as the Knicks tried to halt a three-game losing streak .
