New York Knicks: Mitchell Robinson needs a bigger role

When the New York Knicks squared off with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night, Mitchell Robinson picked up his fifth foul with about 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Had it not been his fifth foul, it would not have been a bad play: Robinson gave a good contest on DeAndre Jordan’s putback attempt and sent a bad free-throw shooter to the line.

Commentator Mike Breen, however, did not hide his frustration, noting that this would keep Robinson out for the next few minutes when the team needed its rim protector on the floor.
